NEW College provides a distinctive and very special student experience. Our number one priority is teaching and learning, and so we expect it to be yours too. Despite having around 1900 students, we pride ourselves on valuing you as individuals and responding to your needs. Because NEW College is larger than most school sixth forms, the range of subjects that you can study and variety of activities we can offer is wider. As a student at NEW College you will be treated as a young adult and supported in every step in your learning journey.

Talking to past and present students is a very good way for you to find out what life at NEW College is about and will certainly help explain why we are so popular. One important reason for our popularity and reputation is our examination results. We are consistently the top performing A-Level institution across the Wakefield district. Additionally, we are proud of the progress our students make at A-Level compared with their GCSE results. This measure puts us in the top 25% nationally of all sixth form providers. These results allow our students to move onto the next stage of their careers both well qualified and confident.
