Careers

At Coloma our overarching objective is to elevate the aspirations and achievements of all our students, providing them with the necessary skills, qualifications, knowledge, and presentation abilities to pursue fulfilling careers as female leaders and lifelong learners.

We are privileged to see this lived out in the personal successes of our students. Their destinations data demonstrates this annually in which 97% choose to progress to university, and last year over 30% went to Russell Group Universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Nottingham,UCL, LSE & Kings.

Our carefully curated activities and events are delivered with impartiality and tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. Through collaborative efforts with local employers, further education providers, parents, carers, and teachers, we strive to offer a stable programme that effectively addresses the diverse requirements of our student body.
