"At the end of Year 11 young people face a choice between staying on at school or progressing to a college. I believe that they benefit greatly from a change of institution and that transferring to a sixth from college such as Cadbury offers them great advantages.
Cadbury College caters exclusively for young people over 16 years of age and is organised to meet their particular needs, interests and aspirations. We offer over 40 A Level courses and many of our specialist staff are also examiners or chief examiners in their subject, so you can be sure of the very best quality of teaching. With over 80% of our learners going on to university, much that we do is geared to developing skills for that end and the changing world in which our leavers will work.

Our students come from over 100 schools in Birmingham and the wider area, and they benefit greatly from joining other bright students from different communities across the region. Past students always comment on the college’s adult feel and its friendly but purposeful atmosphere. We provide an extensive range of enrichment courses, sporting, creative and social activities – so time at Cadbury is busy and never dull.

Life at college is very different to that at school. Our students have more freedom and are expected to take greater responsibility for their own learning. However, as at school, a watchful eye is kept on our students’ performance and regular contact with parents is valued. I feel that this carefully balanced approach enables our students to make a successful transition to higher education.

Cadbury has high expectations of its students, not just in academic performance but also in the way that they conduct themselves and develop personally. They are expected to exemplify an ethos of mutual respect, positive encouragement and participation.
This website and our prospectus will give you an introduction to Cadbury but the best way to find out is to visit us in person, at one of the many open events that we organise through the early part of the academic year. I hope that you will take up the invitation to meet us – you will be made very welcome."
