We are delighted that you are considering joining our high achieving, inclusive and exceptional college. We are the oldest sixth form college in the country and our track record of excellence speaks for itself. Being consistently Ofsted good or outstanding for the last 20 years has meant that every student gets the best possible teaching and support to go on to university, apprenticeships or employment. That’s why we are proud to be a nationally recognised sixth form; it’s why students like you choose LSFC. We are confident that by choosing us, you will benefit from an extraordinary education that will give you a great platform to progress to a purposeful and successful future. That was one of the first things I said to my students when appointed a few years ago. “Impossible,” they said. “Only until it’s been done,” I replied. I’m absolutely convinced our dream will come true one day. For each and every one of us, success matters, but we know it looks different for everyone. We are here to make sure you achieve whatever it is you want. From Oxford to Glasgow, via Manchester and Liverpool, our students can be found in the best universities in the UK. In fact, 43% of our university applicants receive offers from the more selective universities, 81% of our students who go to university go on to achieve either a first-class degree or a 2:1 and 94% of our students who go to Russell Group universities achieve a 1st Class or 2nd Class degree. However, there are many other options too! Our specialist staff will help you to build your future. LSFC alumni can be found in apprenticeships, travelling the world, building successful careers, and even as owners of their own businesses.

Hitchin,

Back pain is one of the most common conditions that people live with in the UK today. The vast majority of us are likely to be affected by back pain at some point in our lives. For most it will be a short lived experience but for others back pain is ongoing and affects quality of life, making ordinary daily tasks difficult or at worst simply impossible to perform. Chronic back pain can result in depression, low self esteem, unemployment, the breakdown of relationships and more. Here at BackCare we provide information and education to prevent unnecessary back pain from occurring in the first place. However, whilst prevention is better than cure, we also understand that not all back pain is avoidable. A large part of our work at BackCare is to provide practical and emotional support to people living with back pain whether caused through wear and tear, injury, musculoskeletal disorders such as Scoliosis, Spina Bifida, Arthritis and Axial SpA or other serious underlying health conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, or Cancer, for example. BackCare was the brainchild of businessman and philanthropist, Stanley Grundy who in 1968, set about creating a charity dedicated to those living with back pain, regardless of cause and educating the public in ways of preventing back pain. Today, some 50 years on, we remain resolute in our efforts to significantly reduce the burden of back and neck pain by working together with people and organisations and those affected by such pain and providing information, guidance and advice to all. We are proud to have HRH The Prince of Wales as our Patron.

Autism Bedfordshire’s services help break down the barriers to social participation for autistic people and their families by providing places where they can go and feel comfortable, accepted and not judged by society. With the encouragement and support of specialist trained staff we help autistic people build their confidence, self-esteem, and social skills through taking part in social activities and mixing with other people. Furthermore, we help them to develop practical skills and independence which will improve their prospects in life and help them be part of the community. Our aspirations are for them to have the same opportunities as people who are not on the spectrum, so that they can enjoy fulfilled and rewarding lives. How we can help The physical and emotional stress of looking after an autistic child or adult is a huge strain on the parents and we want them to feel that they are not alone in their struggles. They can come to us for practical advice, information and emotional support so that they will be better equipped to cope with and care for their autistic children and any other siblings. We provide opportunities for them to have a guilt-free break from their caring responsibilities, safe in the knowledge their autistic child is being well looked after by staff who understand the challenges that autism can present. Communities Finally, we raise awareness of autism in the community in order to reduce misunderstanding about the condition. Through training and informative talks we educate schools, local businesses and community groups about the sort of behaviours that an autistic person may display and how best to respond to and be supportive of them. With our increasing presence at community events, members of the public can also become more knowledgeable about and accepting of autism. In this way we hope that autistic people will find it easier to engage with and integrate into mainstream society.
