Welcome to Sixth Form
The Consortium Sixth Form College works together across two campuses at Hessle and Wolfreton to provide a vibrant and successful community, supporting students in achieving their ambitions.
As Heads of Sixth Form, we have been fortunate to work with a large number of amazing students over the years, and it has been a pleasure to have played a role in their educational journey. Our Sixth Form College has a strong history of enabling its students to achieve excellent outcomes, allowing them to progress onto highly successful careers.
Studying with us provides you with the opportunity of achieving the best possible grades. We offer A Level and vocational course options,
covering a wide range of subject areas to meet your individual needs. Our courses are taught by qualified subject specialist teachers with a wide range of backgrounds and expert knowledge in their field.
Our students receive excellent pastoral care and support from our dedicated team of staff, and you can also gain additional skills through our programme of enrichment and extracurricular opportunities.
Choosing where to study after completing your GCSEs is an important decision. Throughout Year 11 you will have the opportunity to take part in events and activities to experience life in the Sixth Form and explore subjects of interest. We will also meet with you to provide advice and guidance regarding your options. This process starts with our Sixth Form Open Evenings and we look forward to seeing you there.
