The people

Keren Abse, Director of the Sixth Form College (right) with Principal Frank McLoughlin

Students come to City and Islington Sixth Form College from across London, the majority from Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Haringey. We have around 1,300 full-time students, aged between 16 and 18, and 700 adults studying part-time evening language courses.

We have over 100 teachers, all experts in their subjects. They all have degrees and teaching qualifications, and many have second degrees. Most of our teaching staff are very experienced, and many are external examiners for their subjects. They specialise in teaching and tutoring A-Level students.

Our staff are dedicated to doing their best for their students and take great pride and pleasure celebrating student achievement and progression.

Student profile

Joe Dally

Film Studies gave me an opportunity to explore my love of film, says Joe, who studied A-levels, and History and Sociology have been really challenging and keep your interest the whole way through; History's actually one of my favourite subjects now. The teachers are a lot of fun, which is definitely one of the best parts! It's really important to enjoy your learning and City and Islington makes sure that you do.
