General Information
The Alban Consortium
Extending Post-16 Options
St. Michael's Catholic Sixth Form is a member of a larger consortium, extending the choices of courses available. Each educational establishment is strengthened through shared expertise and resources. Timetables are harmonised, so that it is possible to mix and match between locations. Transport is available, should it be necessary.
The Alban Consortium consists of:
 | St. Michael's Catholic High School |
 | Loreto Humanities College |
 | St. Albans Girls' School & Enterprise College |
 | Nicholas Breakspear RC School |
 | Oaklands College |
Many students have already benefited from this flexible arrangement.
As a consortium, our links have continued to grow, to the extent that staff now share training days. For the future we are looking at the possibility of joint celebrations.
The following table shows the September 2010 timetable.
