The Sixth Form College, Solihull exists to 'aspire'! What does this mean?The word 'aspire' represents our learning culture. We are proud of the experience of learning we are able to offer our students in their time with us. Not only do so many score outstanding examination success, they progress to the next phase in their lives - be that university, employment or further education and training - well-equipped to meet all new challenges with strongly developed learning skills, robust independence of mind and the confidence to excel. "Everyone can be a truly independent learner, but for some of us this can take a little longer to develop. Excellent teaching and full commitment to study are essentials, but we also believe that explicit attention needs to be paid to how we learn and how we can move on from reliance on others to increased self-reliance. To make this step easier we have committed our teachers and students to a consistent and clear approach to what we need to do together to develop greater independence. This shared approach is 'aspire'."
