About us

Blessed William Howard's place in The Stafford Sixth Form Partnership enables our students to access a much wider range of courses and qualifications which may not all be available within our school.

We aim to accommodate our students on appropriate courses and to maintain the pastoral care and enrichment which we consider to be a strength of our school. Where students may wish to study subjects off-site our position within the Stafford Sixth Form Partnership facilitates this.

Aims

The aims of Blessed William Howard Catholic Sixth Form are to:

Support the decision-making process in Year 11 as students make their plans for Post-16 education.

Support students when making job/course applications for higher education and preparation for interview.
