The Blackpool Sixth Form College Description

With a choice of over 60 advanced level options, specialist teaching and fantastic facilities, Blackpool Sixth gives all its students the perfect springboard to university and great careers.

Blackpool Sixth’s course range is extremely wide with A levels and BTEC options. Students are able to put together a programme which exactly matches their interests and future ambitions. Blackpool Sixth is also the only local state school or college offering the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) qualification to students.

Following its inspection in May 2009, the college was graded as “outstanding” by Ofsted. The inspectors praised the “exceptional academic and personal skills development” and the “extraordinary support” which the college provides.

Students also benefit from an enrichment programme which offers an extremely wide variety of activities including team and individual sports, outdoor pursuits, work experience, voluntary service, enterprise, as well as foreign and UK visits.

Summer 2011 sees the completion of our new theatre, performance studios and centre for English and Modern Languages. The Sixth Form recently opened a new centre for Visual Arts and Media, new Science laboratories and new learning resource centres.

Very proud to see both current and former Blackpool Sixth music students appearing on the 'Blackpool Introduces' stage at this year's Blackpool Illuminations Switch On 2018.
Both Chloe Rose Moyle and members of The Sound have studied, or are currently studying BTEC Music with us at Blackpool Sixth and we are really excited to see our students perform in such a huge event for the town.

Celebrating success and building futures!
Blackpool Sixth students and staff are once again celebrating a wonderful set of A level and BTEC Level 3 results against a backdrop of curriculum reforms and more challenging qualifications. Despite the reforms, the overall pass rate has been maintained at 99% and significant numbers of students are still receiving the highest possible grades in their qualifications. In A level subjects half of students’ grades were high grades (A*, ...A or B) and in BTEC 88% of students received distinction stars.
Blackpool Sixth Principal, Jill Gray, commented, “We are thrilled with this fabulous set of results which reflects the dedication and hard work of our students and staff. Such positive results mean that our students are now able to progress to their chosen next step with an excellent foundation for future success. We are extremely proud of all their achievements.”
Follow our Facebook and Twitter pages for all the results as we speak to our students. Share your results and let us know what you are doing in September by using the hashtag #B6Results

We have been coordinating with the lettings team of the college to organize Blackpool's first-ever Yoga and Vegan Festival, and we are very pleased with the excellent support. A special thanks to Andy for being so helpful. We'd recommend to hire their facilities if you are organizing any events.

My daughter was recently in a dancing show here. It's a fantastic venue for a show! A lovely modern theatre. It was clean and well maintained, with ample parking. Friendly staff too.

Inspiring atmosphere, enthusiastic staff. A great place to be!

Been a good 5 years since I left, but major shout outs to Simon Thornhill and Phil Benson for (admittedly unknowingly) catapulting me onto my Maths PhD. If either of you guys ever want to chat about Complex Analysis, Topolgy or how to solve the Inscribed Square Problem, I'm sure I probably owe you both a few pints! Best teachers ever!
