Gateway College was opened in 1928 as a boys’ grammar/technical school and became a Sixth Form College in 1976 as part of the reorganisation of secondary education in the City of Leicester. Today the College is a mixed open access college hosting 1,200 full time students, mostly aged 16-19, and with an annual turnover of £6.5 million.
The College moved from Leicester city centre to a new 12 acre purpose built site in Hamilton, situated 3 miles to the north east of the city, on the borders of Leicestershire in August 2009 and in April 2020 became one of three founding members of the Better Futures Multi-Academy Trust (BFMAT) in association with Coventry University.
The College delivers a mix of outstanding A-levels, vocational qualifications from entry level to level 3 and GCSE’s maths and English and was awarded a ‘Good’ grade 2 by Ofsted in October 2019. The college has also been awarded the Gold Mental Health Award for Schools and is working towards the Artsmark standard.
Leicester city contains two Sixth Form Colleges, a large GFE and a small number of specialist and school sixth form providers. The large majority of new entrants come to Gateway College from the 11-16 age band schools who serve the local area. Other students transfer from 11-18 age band schools, from schools and colleges situated in the county area and beyond, as well as from Independent Schools. Gateway is the only Sixth Form College serving the north of the city and county.
