We are committed to seeking the views of learners and identifying and providing appropriately for the learning, outcomes and development needs of each individual in an environment that is safe, stimulating, enjoyable, challenging, and fun and in which the College strives to deliver the five outcomes of Every Child Matters (ECM).
Curriculum Manager of Maths & Computing
I’m Dee Patel, Head of Maths and Computing and I joined the College in 2018.
I have a degree in Mathematics from Cardiff University and have taught maths across a variety of institutions around the Midlands managing mathematics departments in several colleges before coming to Stoke Sixth Form. As well as teaching, I am responsible for ensuring smooth running of the department and implementing changes to make improvements for students, staff and the College. Outside of work, I get involved in charity fundraising and enjoy mountain climbing with my family. In recent years, we have completed the UK National three peaks challenge, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and reached Everest Base Camp.
Teacher of Maths & Computing
I’m Martin Whalley, second in department for Maths and Computing.
I have a degree in maths with statistics and am very passionate about the use and misuse of statistics in the media and in social media – especially over the recent months. I am in my second year of teaching in Stoke, having previously taught in Felixstowe for 7 years. I also have a wealth of experience outside education having previously worked in retail, a solicitor’s office, event management and as a driving instructor. When not teaching I can sometimes be found on the hunt for spooks and spirits as part of a paranormal investigation group. I am also a trained fire-eater.
Teacher of Maths
I’m Amelia (Mel) Manning, Teacher of Mathematics in the STEM department.
Teacher of Maths
I’m Robin Ray, Teacher of Mathematics in the STEM department (and a former student here at Stoke Sixth Form College!) .
My degree is in Chemical Engineering, with a Masters in Education, and I like to use my background knowledge and experience to bring the applications of maths alive. I returned to teaching in 2019 after working in educational publishing making maths and science resources for all age groups. I enjoy finding new ways to make learning maths enjoyable and accessible for all. I’m currently learning British Sign Language (slowly but surely) and in my spare time I love to explore Stoke’s green spaces and wildlife.
Teacher of Maths
I’m Alice Fitzgerald, a teacher of Maths at the Sixth Form College.
I have a degree in Mathematics with Psychology and also a Masters in Education. I am currently in my tenth year of teaching and my aim has always been to share my love of maths with all of the students that I teach. I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with maths outreach projects in the city, working with high school students to encourage them to study maths beyond GCSE. When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring the forest with my one year old son.

I’m Dr Matt Addie and I teach both science and maths at the college. I bring a wealth of industrial knowledge to lessons having worked in chemistry research for 15 years before teaching. Alongside this, I also recruited graduate students for the multinational company I was working for and I’ve run my own business so I can tell you some of the things that employers are looking for in interviews! All of the amazing opportunities I have had in the world of work were only possible because of my education and this is my motivation for teaching science and maths today. When I’m not teaching, I have a slight obsession with growing small trees in pots – the Japanese art of bonsai.
Dr Martin Parker is Curriculum Manager and Head of Science at the college. His subject specialism is Chemistry. Prior to teaching, Martin was a Senior Research Fellow, working at the cutting-edge of Biochemical research at various universities in the UK (Bristol, Leeds & Sheffield) and USA (University of California, Berkeley). Aside from science and education, he is passionate about music, playing modern jazz on the alto saxophone.
I chose to study at the Sixth Form College because of the high quality teaching and facilities on offer. I have found my courses very interesting and enjoyable so far and I am very happy with my decision to study here…
The broad range of subjects offered at the Sixth Form College are brilliant and the teachers are friendly and approachable. The building is easy to navigate, which helps when you are starting somewhere new…
I love the new environment at Sixth Form College, everyone is so friendly and approachable. Other local colleges are quite large and overwhelming and you don’t get that feeling here.

First year A-Level Geography students visiting Ainsdale on the Sefton Coast. Students spent time collecting data on species diversity, pH, wind speed and slope angle to support their understanding of sand dune ecosystems. Many students re-visited and collected further data to support independent investigations which accounts for 20% of the overall A-Level grade.
As part of the Geography curriculum, students take part in a total of 6 full days of fieldwork. In June a residential to North Yorkshire takes place. We stay at the YHA in York and cover a range of topics including coastal management on the Holderness Coast and changing places in Hull.

Students logging and recording data at Park Hall Country Park, looking at Triassic sandstones and conglomerates to learn about ancient deserts and flash floods. This SSSI is only 10 minutes away from college and is a fantastic introduction to geological fieldwork skills.
Students study the external rock structures, looking at how they have been deformed by tectonic movements, and then go into a 200 year old copper mine to investigate how the folded rocks affect the orientation of mineral veins.
Students visit the Peak district and learn about the ancient environment in the Carboniferous when the UK was part of a warm shallow tropical sea, they learn about the rock types formed, sedimentary logging and other fieldwork techniques, and even sniff the rocks to see if they can detect remnants of oil. We sometimes even stop for an ice-cream if the weather is good!
Students go fossil hunting in the remains of a 440million year old ocean, learning about the geological history of the UK.
Students undertake a range of field skills, including species diversity sampling, water infiltration rates, wind speed and humidity conditions, river flow rates and get their hands dirty doing soil texture analysis.

The cause of morphogenesis – biochemical signalling or morphogenetic fields?
John had a passion for his EPQ which often results in students achieving very well. He wanted to tackle a subject that linked to his career pathway into medicine. He worked extremely hard not only on his topic itself but to develop the necessary skills for completing the EPQ. These skills included academic research, compiling literature reviews, time-management, planning, Harvard referencing, reflection skills etc.
To what extent does supernatural myth have a factual basis”, based on Homer’s Iliad, Odyssey and Homeric Hymns
Iona was an outstanding student who took to the independent aspects of the EPQ with gusto. She was a natural scholar; quiet and organised; able to assimilate information and communicate it clearly and succinctly. The topic involved wide ranging reading of classical texts and associated academic works. This proved to be a sound basis for her future studies as she has now started her degree in Classics at St Anne’s College, Oxford.
