With a college roll of around 1700 students there are plans for further expansion due to the College’s success, growing reputation and increased applications.
The college experienced an excellent inspection in October 2023 which strengthened its ‘Good’ Ofsted grading with observations of high quality educational provision and high levels of student attendance and motivation.
To maintain the support and ongoing success of our student outcomes, we have a relentless focus on continuing to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment and we have a fabulous team of colleagues who give up an extraordinary amount of time to support their students and their fellow members of staff. The dedication and attention to quality they exhibit is what makes our college so successful.
The curriculum offered is predominantly Level 3 provision of A Levels and Vocational A Level programmes with around 95% of students studying at advanced level. Each year around 75% of students progress to university and this commitment to a truly comprehensive ideal characterises the college. To support this progress to Higher Education, the Honours programme is unique to The Sixth Form Bolton. It offers our students a distinctive set of opportunities for academic achievement and personal development designed to give them the competitive edge they need when applying for the highest quality courses and the most prestigious universities in the country. As a result of this additional support, our alumni includes students who have progressed to many of the UK’s top universities including Oxford and Durham.
Academies in Theatre, Sport and Science further enhance studies and help develop essential skills associated with each discipline. The College has partnerships with Bolton Cricket League supported by the Lancashire Cricket Board and we also work in association with the Octagon Theatre Bolton which is a highly respected regional theatre currently undergoing a redevelopment programme to ensure its ongoing provision of quality productions and accessibility for all.
As well as providing a range of opportunities for those students enrolled at the college, as part of our strategy on inclusion and working in the wider community we have fantastic links with local secondary schools, offering taster days and workshops to Year 10/11 pupils who may be undecided or unaware of their future opportunities to continue their studies. There is also an established and extremely successful RAY programme (Raising Aspirations in Youth) which is designed to equip more able Year 9 and 10 pupils with the necessary skills to excel in their studies and this is led by our dedicated staff with sessions, events and workshops held regularly on college premises.
With a collective focus on ensuring that every student achieves their personal best, the college aims to create a culture and ethos which promotes initiative, curiosity, confidence and independence in all our learners. This aim is supported by the many college wide activities and events that all students participate in and which supports experiences of the world of work, offers opportunities to debate topical subjects and encourages students to come together to raise money and awareness for the many local and national charity events that take place throughout the year.
The Sixth Form Bolton is a wonderful place to work and we welcome applications from those who share our vision and drive for excellence as we aspire to provide outstanding care, outstanding education and outstanding opportunities.
