College life
Our Sixth Form College
We have been helping students achieve their academic aims for nearly 30 years. We are the highest achieving sixth form college in London, providing a rigorous academic programme for young adults within an informal and friendly learning environment.
Making the right choice of subjects is critical, and at Brampton we offer a range of GCSE and A level courses and the guidance and flexibility to meet the needs of each of our students.
Being at sixth form is a crucial development period for young people, in both an intellectual and personal sense. This is why we offer an extensive programme of individual support, mentoring and enrichment activities to build students’ confidence and prepare them for their next steps.
Sixth Form Tutors
The teachers at Brampton College are highly qualified sixth form specialists, well-practised in preparing young people for their A level examinations and happy to provide personal guidance along the way. Many of the teachers have experience of examining.
Teaching occurs in small groups at Brampton College. The average class size is seven, with a maximum of nine. This allows tutors to focus attention on each individual student, so that they all receive the support that they deserve.
Study Facilities
Brampton College is situated on an attractive purpose-built site with outstanding amenities. We have a total of four laboratories (all of which have been refurbished in the past two years), a beautiful art studio, excellent computer facilities, a large supervised library, a GCSE suite, a student common room and other invaluable student break-out or study areas.
GCSE and A Level Results
Here at Brampton College, we are incredibly proud of our long-running history of outstanding results. In the DfE league tables, we have been the top sixth form college in London for 21 years (out of last 22 years) for A level results.
The College also has an outstanding record of ‘value added’ which measures progress from GCSE to A level. A positive score means students made more progress, on average, than students with similar GCSE results. This report was last published by the DfE in January 2020 where Brampton was placed in the top 2% of all colleges and schools in the country.
In 2024, 55% students at Brampton achieved A*/A grades and 81% A*- B grades. 74% of our students were placed at a Russell Group university.
Our GCSE results are also consistently impressive. In 2024 students achieved 57% grades 9-7 (A*- A) compared to 22.6% national average and 39% top grades of 9-8 (A*).
