Xaverian Sixth Form College

Story

Xaverian College is a Roman Catholic college in Manchester, England, founded by the Xaverian Brothers in 1862.AdmissionsIn the inner city suburb of Rusholme, close to Wilmslow Road and Oxford Road, many of the college's students originate from ethnic minorities, as well as various socioeconomic classes. Admissions consist of three hierarchal priorities:1. Pupils studying at one of the seven associated Roman Catholic High Schools and Trinity Church of England High School are guaranteed a place at Xaverian if they wish to take it.2. Next priority is given to students in Roman Catholic schools who are in partnership with Xaverian.3. Priority then falls to Roman Catholic pupils at non-Roman Catholic schools who meet entry requirements.4. There is a NHS Cadets vocational programme which has entry criteria that are not based on an applicant's religion or beliefs.5. Xaverian College also accommodates a group of approximately fifty Manchester University students undertaking foundation degrees in dentistry, medicine and pharmacy.History1862-1976The Xaverian Brothers, or Congregation of St. Francis Xavier (CFX), are a Roman Catholic religious order founded by Theodore James Ryken in Bruges, Belgium, in 1839 and named after St. Francis Xavier. The order is dedicated to Roman Catholic education in the United Kingdom, the United States and many other countries.

Awful college did not offer any support for when I was stuck on things. Slow to respond to my needs and resulting in me leaving only for them to take nearly short of a year to even notice I had left
Great College and have already made memories here as a student. I love the campus and my teachers are very informative Only downside i'd say is the restrooms . The urinal toilets have a lack of barrier between them so its weird if i use it man... Anyways, im hoping that i could get good grades looking at the amazing results of former students. Also the rs and pastoral lessons are very interesting and i enjoy them a lot!
Fairly good Roman Catholic college rated Outstanding by Ofsted. No major issues with teaching and staff, but there is a little bit of a general lack of respect towards the pupils. This college has lots of opportunities and good university destinations for students. They even teach some Foundation Year courses on behalf of the University of Manchester.
As a Muslim student I studied here 1999-2001 A levels and had an excellent time here socially and made it into Manchester University which was hard to get into. The staff were supportive and the free time for doing private study was beneficial. The college was large at that time around 1000 students and I made many new friends whom I still had contact with after leaving the college. The RE lessons and tutorials were also interesting and was very welcoming. I would highly recommend the college if you are willing to study hard outside of lesson time. Although the college results were similar to the national average at the time it is not due to poor teaching. The college is situated in a good location and there are plenty of activities to participate in. I have many pleasant memories.
I used to attend here and I found it a very cliquey college. The hipsters keep to themselves, the asian community does and black community too. I didn't like the way you were treated as if you were still a child at school as well. The Arts Department was unorganised as was the graphics one. Not enough room either, needs to be expanded. Not a brush or pencil to be found in either departments. I remember doing Maths and that Mr Patel, very patronising teacher. The way some of the teachers spoke to you was vile. Felt like I was back in school again which I could not wait to leave. Also witnessed teachers cussing at one another too and a few art teachers blazing up a joint outside the gates in the bushes as if we didn't see them. And that IT teacher Mrs Ahmed was terrible, never taught a single thing. It was also a very cold college, food wasn't good either at the canteen. Unless you fit in the crowd or friendly friendly with the tutors you were basically just left out in my book.
Maths is very poorly taught. Simply a teacher sitting reading from a textbook. No care or support offered. Exceptionally poor teaching from Computer science - teacher doesn’t even understand the content! Would not suggest Xaverian if you are wanting to do maths or computer science.
Lack of respect from the maths department specifically. Asked for extra support in my final year during the college day was told to ask another teacher as mine “doesn’t tutor their own pupils” and was then told I’d have to pay for it. Found out a month or so later another student in my class was receiving extra lessons from our teacher. Both of us were predicted B’s, other student received an A and I got a D. I feel that this college cost myself and several of my friends, who were also considered high achievers through primary and secondary school, places at Russell Group universities. My maths teacher also insisted we email her if we were stuck on questions, refused to answer on her days off part time and when answered received “look in the study guide”. Despite attending an extra study session every week for the first year, when it came to applying for university I was told I would have to “show I could put the effort in” to receive an improved predicted grade to secure a place. Ultimately spent 90% of my time trying to reteach myself the maths syllabus in my final year, sacrificed revision and coursework time for my other subjects English and Art to try and improve my grade and still received no support or encouragement from maths dept. No other subject showed nearly as much blatant disrespect for students as maths did. We were told by a maths teacher it was not appropriate for us to work part time whilst at college and felt we were shamed for having to earn money ourselves. We were also made to feel guilty for having a social life, eating food outside of college grounds and having other appointments driving test, doctors appointments etc as this took away from study time. The passive aggressive nature of this department ultimately put many students I knew off of progressing maths to higher education. After results day, I received an email from a maths teacher saying how I’d been only 1 mark from the next grade up and was asked if I wanted to have the exam remarked. Due to communication issues I didn’t see the email for several weeks. However, when I did respond, I revived no response from the college and haven’t to this day. The only upsides to this college I felt were the quality of teaching in the other subjects I studied. The art and English departments were outstanding in teaching, and I received As and A*s in coursework and on results day. It’s a shame the maths department ultimately cost me a place at any Russell group university through favouring those who came from private schools, had instant high grades upon joining the college and were instantly favoured by the maths teacher.
Super college but.... a ballache to get to, the curry mile... they have NO regard for other Road Users ! As for the cycle Lane... Do they own the road ? Without paying the Tax ?? Grrrrr !!
Excellent college with a welcoming and safe atmosphere and supporting teachers and pastoral staff. The college pushes its students rather than babying them to help students get the results needed for their future goals whether it be university or another pathway.
Excellent college seems extremely well managed .Not only has it history and is asthetically pleasing it delivers excellent results .The music department and teachers is second to non, anyone wanting to study music would not be disappointed.
