The sixth form college for South Oxfordshire and the Thames Valley, we offer a much wider range of courses than school sixth forms and many other colleges including over 50 high-achieving A Level and vocational diploma courses, apprenticeships and other opportunities. In 2004 we became the only sixth form college in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire to be awarded the highest accolade in the post 16 sector by the Department of Education and at its last inspection the College was rated ‘good’ by OFSTED. In 2012 The Henley College celebrated 25 years of teaching and learning excellence, although our origins can be traced back to King James I Grammar School founded in 1604. These foundations closely reflect the academic and vocational traditions that still remain at the forefront of today's offering. Since its creation in 1987, the College has continued to serve as the sixth form of choice for our four local partner schools. However, thanks to our leading reputation and the quality of our courses, we are now home to nearly 2,000 full-time students from over 100 schools across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
