Choices
We offer a choice of more than thirty A Level courses. We know the importance of
being able to select a combination of subjects that suits your skills and aspirations.
We will work with you to ensure you have the best possible chance of progressing
to your chosen destination once you have completed your studies at Abbeygate.

Support
We know that support is a prerequisite to success.

Student Achievement Mentors (SAMs)
Each Abbeygate student will have a dedicated SAM. You will meet regularly to
discuss your progress: the areas in which you are excelling, and the areas in which
you need further support or guidance. As you know, life can be tricky and it will
sometimes throw something unexpected in your path. Your SAM will be available
to guide you throughout your time at Abbeygate to ensure you have everything
you need to remain happy and successful in your studies and are able to thrive in
all aspects of college life.

Pastoral Care
From experience we know that there are a number of basics we must get right
in order for your A Level journey to be a successful one. One of these basics is
attendance: to be successful you must attend college. We will work with you to
ensure there are no barriers preventing you from reaching your potential. When rare
occurrences of absence do occur we will help you to manage them and to catch-up.
Counselling and wellbeing guidance will be available, arranged by your SAM.

Financial Support
Sometimes students need help, and often it is when least expected. Abbeygate will
seek to offer financial support for these occasions. The college’s 16-19 Bursary Fund      Your SAM will be available to guide you
will be able to help with the cost of course materials, transport, and trips and visits.
Your SAM will be available to help you, if and when you need it.

Student Voice
                         “Abbeygate represents a terrific
                         opportunity. There are so many
                         exciting subjects on offer. I
                         think this is going to be a great
                         opportunity for students in
                         Bury St Edmunds and beyond.”

                         to benefit enormously from
                         Abbeygate Sixth Form College.
                         They will have opportunities to
                         meet new people, study courses
                         not delivered anywhere else, and
                         interact with a large number of
                         like-minded people. I’m jealous!”

                         for students in and around
                         Bury St Edmunds. The new building
                         will provide great, cutting-edge
                         facilities that will enhance the
                         impressive list of A Levels being
