As a respected member of the Sixth Form Colleges Association, the Maple Group (comprising 13 high performing sixth form colleges), and the Association of Catholic Sixth Form Colleges, Carmel College works collaboratively within its sector to deliver outstanding educational experiences. The college also partners with key organisations such as the Archdiocese of Liverpool School Improvement Trust to foster academic growth and community engagement.
Carmel College is proud to maintain formal partnerships with The University of Liverpool and University of the Arts, London, enhancing the educational pathways available to its students.
Our success lies in the fact that we recruit and retain excellent people who work exceptionally hard, driven by the Vision, Mission and shared values which underpin everything we do at the college.
At the heart of the Vision, Mission and shared values is the commitment to providing an outstanding sixth form education for our young people in a caring, Christian environment, one which makes a positive difference for these young people, improving their life chances and their life opportunities. In December 2024, the College was inspected and judged by Ofsted to be providing an Outstanding sixth form education for our young people. The college was also judged Outstanding in its denominational inspection carried out by the Archdiocese of Liverpool in February 2020.
We are incredibly proud to be an Outstanding college, providing an excellent sixth form education for our students, one which is reflected in the exceptional results they achieve and the exciting destinations to which they progress. Yet, as a proactive governing body and staff, we remain ever mindful of the need to challenge ourselves to strive for continuous improvement, to ensure that we always provide the very best sixth form education for the young people in the local community we serve.
We seek applicants with the vision, integrity and understanding of the Vision, Mission and values of a ‘Catholic College for the Community’, who will continue to drive our College forward. Our ideal candidate will be committed to build a future college that is vibrant, inclusive and provides a caring, Christian environment. We are looking for someone who will put staff and students at the centre of the work of the College, a College which prides itself on academic excellence and on delivering an outstanding sixth form college experience for young people.
