Welcome to Islington Sixth Form Consortium (IC6)
IC6 was established in 2004 and is the joint sixth forms of Central Foundation Boys' School, Highbury Grove School, Highbury Fields School and St Aloysius' College. We provide outstanding sixth form education in a friendly, supportive and productive learning
environment.
Over 700 students enrolled at IC6 in September 2012. A large number of our students come from outside the four partner schools that make up IC6.
We are exceptionally proud of our achievements last year:
• 'Outstanding' value added (ALPS)
• 99% Achievement
• Highest in Local Authority
• 10% A*- twice National Average
• Value Added Top 5% London
In 2010-11 IC6 was inspected by Ofsted twice and received one of only 13 'outstanding' grades nationally for sixth forms. IC6 was described by Ofsted as having many 'outstanding features'; the systems in place for monitoring and supporting students across IC6
were praised as 'excellent' and the curriculum and student achievement were highlighted as 'outstanding'.
About us
IC6 provides a focused and adult environment in which students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning.
Enabled by the broad curriculum we can offer we provide expert advice and guidance to ensure you are placed on the appropriate course at this crucial stage of your education.
A key factor in the success of IC6 is that all of our 700+ students can access the facilities and expertise associated with each school. Drawing on the combined resources, teaching qualities and strengths of our four partner schools we aspire to develop a culture
of learning underpinned by a strong commitment to individual student welfare.
