It’s a Wrap! Rewind Cadbury 2024

It’s been a whirlwind year for Cadbury Sixth Form College. Let’s catch up on the highlights and look back on our top 5 moments of 2024!
- New Developments: we opened our brand new £6.6 million Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) Centre to the very first Cadbury students. The STEM centre aims to ensure we can offer the widest choice of courses across Birmingham, and has dedicated suites for Digital Media, Health and Computer Aided Design (CAD).
- Partnerships: Birmingham Hippodrome will give Cadbury learners exclusive work experience opportunities, BTS access to theatre productions and companies, and special appreciation of what goes into set construction and assembly, scenic painting and prop-making at one of the city’s biggest theatre brands.
- SafeHaven will empower young people through creative arts, sports, and community-building activities, including multi-sports, music production, drama, console gaming, and Warhammer. Workshops will also feature hip-hop, graffiti, and drawing sessions led by Creative Birmingham Arts Therapy UK, encouraging creativity and cultural expression, with free entry for ages 13-17.
- Summer Unity Fest: we hosted Cadbury Culture Day for everyone to unite, reflect and have fun. We were also the first college in the region to thank our local community with food and friendship by hosting the Big Community Lunch, which was attended by The King’s representative.
- Disneyland Paris: Cadbury Performing Arts students sang a medley of classic Disney songs live on the Videopolis Stage to an audience of 300.
- Chartered Status: We’re proud to finish the year with our official Membership to The Chartered Institution for Further Education (CIFE). We were granted this prestigious Chartered Status at the historic Apothecaries’ Hall in the City of London, recognising us as a leading provider of education and skills training.
Join us as we look ahead to 2025 under the exciting fresh direction of our new Group CEO and Principal Lisa Capper MBE. We look forward to seeing you at one of our first open days of the New Year!

Why Beau Recommends T Levels

So Beau, tell us about yourself and what you’re studying at Cadbury
My name is Beau Handley and I study Digital Production, Design & Development T Level. I have been learning coding in Python, visual designs in Photoshop, how to create databases as well as the general computer knowledge you would need in the industry as a whole.
Tell us why you chose this T Level
I’ve always enjoyed Computer Science but specifically this course attracted me because of the work experience you get. 315 hours of experience is very valuable and a lot of companies are not just expecting you to be able to know the stuff, but how to do it. There’s no better way to do that than being at work.
What do you like best about your course?
My favourite thing to learn is coding because you can do anything in it. It’s fun to learn and it’s also complicated to learn, like a task to get over, and once you do it you learn a new skill. You’ve then got that set and you’ll be able to use that for your future.
What are your future plans?
After college I plan to go to uni or do an apprenticeship.
