LIFE AT Xaverian College

We know what makes Xaverian College a place like no other.
A special place to grow.

This uniqueness is in our zeal to help you develop, find new skills and discover hidden talents. To think creatively and work both independently and in a team.

And to boldly enter the next chapter of your life after building confidence through study and enrichment and the Xaverian values that have supported our students for 160 years.

You’ll already know about our amazing academic achievements.

That we’ve been rated Grade One – Outstanding – by Ofsted. That you don’t just come here to learn but put your lessons to the test whether in exciting study spaces, or the workplace on industry placements.

On our Course pages you can even experience a lesson before starting your studies here at Xaverian College.

ENRICHMENT

Coming to college shouldn’t be purely about academic achievements and we have an extensive enrichment programme giving you the opportunity to do more than just study and sit exams.

Our enrichment programme is flexible around your timetable with activities taking place during lunchtimes, lesson blocks and after college so you should be able to fit your enrichment activities around your college timetable. Our enrichment programme is created with your interests in mind and we always welcome your input on extra activities you think we could offer.
