SIBFORD SIXTH FORM


Introducing BTEC


Sibford’s BTEC results in 2017 were outstanding with all students gaining a Distinction*. In 2018 we will be offering four subjects at BTEC: Business Studies, Information Technology, Creative Digital Media Production and Music.


Steph McGovern, BBC journalist and presenter says: “I know from personal experience how BTEC, with its mix of academic and practical learning, helps all kinds of young people to engage with the subjects that they feel passionate about in a way that works for them.”


The new Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker, who will be the first female Time Lord, completed a BTEC Level 3 National in Performing Arts at Kirklees College in Huddersfield, before going on to the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.


Other celebrities who studied BTECs during their education include: • Amir Khan, professional boxer • Candice Brown, Great British Bake Off winner 2016 • Tom Heel, keyboard and guitar player for Paul Weller/The Jam • Oliver Savile, actor in the West End’s ‘Wicked’ • Ash Dykes, explorer and extreme athlete • Idris Elba, actor famous for The Wire and Luther • Shaun Escoffery, singer and songwriter.
