Story

Principal: Mr D H Frost

Holy Cross is a specialist A level College and University Centre
.
Sixth Form College

Holy Cross provides education for A Level students from 16 + and has a long track record of nationally outstanding results. 2014 results saw an overall pass rate of 98% with 51% achieving A*, A or B grades. It has been in the top ten colleges nationally for A Level results for the past nine years. Holy Cross also has a first rate system of pastoral care and support. It is smaller and more friendly than many large FE colleges, but still big enough to feel rather different from schools. Holy Cross currently has over 2000 students studying a wide range of A Level subjects.

University Centre

Holy Cross offers a range of degree courses which are made possible by our partnership with our universities (Liverpool Hope, Edge Hill, Newman, Salford and St Mary's, Twickenham). There are approximately 600 students currently studying for a degree. Studying for a degree at Holy Cross offers; a low cost alternative to other universities, flexibility to study in the evenings whilst continuing with other life commitments, a strong student support system, the opportunity to study locally and save on expensive living costs, and of course the ability to achieve great results - 82% gained first or 2.1 classifications in 2014.

Mission

Holy Cross, founded by the Daughters of the Cross, is a Catholic Sixth Form College and University Centre, which exists to provide a high quality education within a community based on Gospel values. We provide the opportunity for each person to develop spiritually, morally and intellectually, and we welcome students and staff of all faiths.
