We are a small Sixth Form College situated in Barnet, North London, providing fulltime education for students aged 1619 years. As part of the Further Education sector we are directly funded by the Government and open to application from anyone who lives within travelling distance. We see ourselves as a local community college, particularly in our relationship with our two Partner Schools – The Compton and Friern Barnet – whose students get priority of entry, and occupy approximately one quarter of our places. In many ways the College is a special place. With just over a thousand students, we maintain a supportive, friendly atmosphere where people know each other and operate in a climate of mutual respect. There is a strong emphasis on selfdiscipline and oldfashioned courtesy. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds, and we celebrate the diversity of different minority ethnic origins. We offer thirty subjects at GCE Advanced level and two Applied Alevel courses Business Studies and I.T.. Our examination results are consistently excellent, putting us in the top three highachieving colleges in the country. In summer 2007 our passrate was 99.7 with just under 69 at Grades A and B. Nevertheless, our pride is in the consistently positive ‘value added’ scores our students achieve – the measure that shows an improvement in an individual’s A Level result compared to their predicted achievement based on GCSE results. At Woodhouse, students do better than they might be expected to do Our emphasis, however, is not just on examination results. We provide a rounded educational experience which includes extracurricular activities like music, drama and sport. Our tutorial system is extensive and effective : personal and academic problems are identified early and support given. We have a fulltime teacher dedicated to the provision of special educational needs and learner support.
