Petroc has officially opened applications for students wishing to join the college in September 2026!

Year 11 pupils now have the opportunity to apply for courses that will begin after the completion of their GCSEs, with Petroc offering one of the widest ranges of study pathways in the South West.

From A Levels and T Levels to Apprenticeships and a diverse variety of Vocational courses, Petroc is committed to providing learning styles that suit every student. The college’s goal is to ensure young people can take the next step in education or training in a way that best supports their ambitions and career goals.

Sharing his excitement, Interim Principal & CEO, Kurt Hintz said:

“At Petroc, we aim to be exceptional, a place where ambition meets opportunity. Our A Level results are very good, and year after year, many of our learners go on to top universities. But we don’t stop there, we combine academic rigour with practical skills, work placements, and apprenticeships, all aligned with employer needs. Every learner is at the heart of what we do, employer involvement is embedded at every stage, from co-designed courses and industry talks to placements, site visits and projects that prepare learners for life beyond college. This is preparation for your career like never before”.

Petroc continues to work closely with local employers and universities, ensuring its programmes give learners the skills and experience they need to thrive in higher education or the workplace.

Students and parents are encouraged to explore the options available and to submit applications as early as possible to secure their place for September 2026.
