I am delighted you are considering Collyer's as your chosen place of study for the next important phase of your education. Collyer's is one of the leading sixth form colleges in the country and the first choice for A Levels across the whole of West Sussex.
Founded nearly 500 years ago in 1532 by a London merchant and Mercer named Richard Collyer, we have a strong sense of history, a welcoming college community and a clear aspirational culture. We consistently achieve amongst the very top A Level results for state providers in the county.
As sixth form specialists we offer a wide range of study programmes including A Levels, vocational and technical as well as a transition year option.
Innovative teaching matched with outstanding support and guidance allows our learners to develop their independent outlook, achieve their potential and ready themselves for the next stage of their life – 9 in 10 students who go on to university achieve a 1st or a 2:1 degree.
