Our Vision & Purpose

Our Vision

All sixth form students deserve the very best educational experience, that inspires them and sets them up for life. A flourishing network of dedicated sixth form colleges will make this a reality. 

Our Purpose

Our role is to strengthen sixth form education by being a powerful advocate of dedicated sixth form colleges, and by supporting our members to deliver a first-class education to their students.

"Being part of the SFCA family has genuinely helped us to become an Outstanding College, as we have benefited enormously from the exceptional talent, creative ideas and very generous support from our colleagues in the SFCA based in London, and from our colleagues across the other Sixth Form Colleges in the Association, especially those in Yorkshire and the Humber (the NORVIC network), as we have developed our practice here over the last ten years. 

 

The SFCA has also provided an open and secure framework for the negotiation of terms and conditions for staff, including the performance management framework. As Principal of the College, the SFCA lead in this area is always greatly appreciated, as it provides both myself and my Governors with a nationally agreed and consistent framework within which to recognise and reward staff."
