We are delighted in welcoming you to Post 16 at Grace Academy Coventry.
Our Post 16 offers a range of academic and vocational courses. We provide an inclusive learning climate for young people so they are engaged with their learning journey and supported in reaching their full potential.
Our commitment to provide students with the best learning opportunities includes a two year loan of a laptop for each student. We also offer two Post 16 private learning rooms for our unique faculty forum groups, and private study sessions. These learning areas provide modern learning spaces, whiteboards, connections for laptops, printing facilities; and are responsibly managed by our students.
In September 2011 we opened the Academies restaurant for the whole school day for Post 16 students; providing refreshments, and wireless connection; much like Starbucks. This has proved a popular choice for students in larger social learning groups. Grace Academy Coventry also provides a stylish common room for our Post 16 students, with bespoke furniture, private courtyard and drinking facilities.
Due to the Academies demographic position, and passion for providing students with the best opportunities, we have excellent links with universities such as Warwick University, who support a selected number of student's on the 'Pathways to Law' and 'Realising Opportunities' programmes. These two year programmes provide students with university mentors, on campus lectures, nationwide seminars and *reduced offers for university places.*
As well as many of our year 11 students wanting to do level 3 courses in year 12, (retaining over 73% of the Academies Year 11 students in 2011). We warmly welcome young people from local and international learning provisions into our post 16 community. We will be launching a Level 2 programme in 2012-2013 to meet the needs of students who are not ready to enter a Level 3 programme after year 11. The Post 16 community engages with social outings, charity events, parties.
Our commitment to each student who fully engages with their life at Grace Academy Coventry Post 16 is 100% support, excellent guidance and the best learning climate for maximum academic and vocational growth.
We look forward to meeting you, and hope you enjoy being part of our fantastic Post 16 community!
