Cadbury Celebrating Record Results!

Cadbury Sixth Form College students have been celebrating record A Level results today, with an increase in the pass rate for the fourth year running!
The class of 2024 have achieved an exceptional 99% pass rate with many students getting the top grades. 28 different subjects and qualifications saw a 100% pass rate, including Physics, English Literature and Language, French, Italian, Geography and Sociology.
These results will give learners the best chance to embark on university and employment opportunities, including further education, apprenticeships and work placements across the city and throughout the UK.
Excellent results were also secured for students studying T Level courses, and alongside moving onto prestigious universities across the country, a number of students have secured high profile apprenticeships.

Cadbury Deputy Principal with star students

  • Star Student Esther Scourse achieved the ultimate triple A star in Biology, Chemistry and Maths! She is about to embark on her next amazing academic journey to the University of Sheffield to study Medicine
  • Star Student Cana Muneyi-Cargill achieved an amazing two A stars in Biology and Graphic Communication and an A in Chemistry!
    She said: “It would have been nice to get the round triple A star but I mean, I can’t complain at all! I needed ABB to get into the University of Liverpool to study Veterinary Science so I’m really happy!”

Principal of Cadbury Sixth Form College, Lydia Maher, said: “I’d like to personally congratulate all our students at Cadbury Sixth Form College; they should be incredibly proud of the results that have been achieved today. Whichever path our students choose to follow – whether it’s university, apprenticeships or work placements – I’ve no doubt that they have a bright and exciting future ahead of them.
“I’d also like to thank our dedicated team of teachers and support staff, who go above and beyond to ensure every single student receives the support and guidance they need to achieve their full potential. It’s been a hugely rewarding year at the College and I’m so pleased to see the class of 2024 secure such exceptional results.”

Sandwell College Group Principal and Chief Executive, Graham Pennington, said: “We’ve had another exceptional year across the Sandwell family of colleges: Cadbury Sixth Form College, Central Saint Michael’s Sixth Form College, and Sandwell College – reflecting the dedication and resilience of our students, and the outstanding support provided by our dedicated staff.
“We have also achieved outstanding results from our students studying BTECs and other vocational qualifications.
“While we’ve seen a record number of applications this year, we still have availability for young people who haven’t yet applied. Enrolment begins on Thursday August 22nd, and we welcome those eager to take the next step in their education.
“I also want to reassure any students concerned about their GCSE results. Rest assured, your place at the college is secure. Whatever your results, we’re here to guide you through your next steps. There is no need for concern – simply come in and enrol. We’re here to support you.”

More than 50 different A Levels, T Levels and BTEC Diplomas are delivered by Cadbury Sixth Form College’s specialist faculty. The team is committed to not only preparing students for the transition to university, but also helping them to build a strong skill set for the workplace, within an enriching and supportive learning environment.

The Health and Wellbeing category specifically acknowledges initiatives and programmes that prioritise the mental and physical wellbeing of the college community, including students and staff. We are extremely proud to announce that we have been awarded recognition for our dedication to Mental Health & Wellness.

Principal and Chief Executive Officer Graham Pennington said: “We’re delighted to be recognised for our mental health and wellness initiatives. I’m incredibly proud of the extensive and tailored support we have in place across The Sandwell Family of Colleges to support our learners, staff and the wider community with issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing. The impact is enormous and real, and it’s all made possible by the passion and commitment of individual staff members who work so hard to remove barriers and realise potential. It’s a real privilege to lead a College with mental health support truly at the heart of its culture and it’s encouraging to see the positive impact we are making year on year. This achievement is down to the tireless efforts of so many of our staff whose commitment and dedication is unwavering.”

Every year, the SFCA provide this sector-wide opportunity and select a small number of providers nationally, who shine within eight areas of work. This is an invaluable way to share the successes of the sector and celebrate the achievements and impact of individual Colleges.

 

Wednesday 26th June marked a significant milestone at Sandwell family of colleges as we hosted our first-ever student conference, bringing together students from across all three campuses (Sandwell College, Cadbury Sixth Form College and Central Saint Michael’s Sixth Form). The event aimed to amplify our students’ voices, providing them with a platform to share their perspectives and contribute to shaping our colleges communities.

Graham Pennington, CEO and Principal of Sandwell family of colleges attended and expressed his excitement about the conference. “It was inspiring to witness our first ever conference and hear from the students themselves. Their enthusiasm and insights are invaluable as we aim to create an inclusive and responsive educational environment”.

Raza Hussain Spoken word Artist and former Cadbury Student joined us as our guest speaker who spoke about his journey and his home City Birmingham. Additionally, Tarenpreet student president of Central Saint Michael’s Sixth Form and Central Campus and Bilal, student president of Cadbury Sixth Form College shared their personal thoughts and journey at the college.

A key highlight for all attendees was the breakout sessions where students had the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions which had a particular focus on the family of colleges values; Respect, Responsible and Ready, the content of tutorials and mindfulness. The students were able to delve into these core values, exploring their relevance within the community. The feedback from these discussions will play a key role in guiding our future initiatives.

We are already looking forward to next year’s conference as this year’s event has set a strong foundation for ongoing collaboration between students and the college ensuring student voice remains at the heart of what we do.
