Welcome to our Sixth Form
Since we first opened in 2011, the Sixth Form has gone from strength to strength. In 2026, following our recent Ofsted inspection, the quality of provision was recognised as being of a 'strong' standard, celebrating the high-quality education and support we provide.
"Students, including those with additional needs, leave the post-16 provision with the knowledge, skills and self-assurance needed to succeed in the next stage of their lives." - Ofsted 2026
We were first awarded the Alps A Level Gold Award 2025 in recognition of outstanding student progress.
Our 2026 results place us within the top 25% of sixth forms and colleges nationally for both A Levels AND BTEC qualifications.
This recognition reflects our commitment to high quality
teaching and excellent outcomes for our students.
With a broad range of academic and vocational pathways, expert teaching and exceptional enrichment opportunities, we prepare students for success at university, apprenticeships and beyond.
We are proud of all our students’ achievements over the years. Students at Altrincham College Sixth Form have progressed on to top Russell Group Universities such as: the University of Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, St Andrews, Warwick and York, to study degrees in Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Business Management, Economics, Law, Maths, Politics, Psychology, Sociology and Sports Science to name just a few. We have also had a number of students take up higher level apprenticeships with top companies such as the BBC, Barclays, PWC, the RAF, Sellafield, Land Rover and Wilkinson Cowan.
Altrincham College Sixth Form prides itself on offering a range of courses, both academic and vocational, all delivered with 100% commitment from our dedicated specialist staff. Students can benefit from our unique opportunity to combine both academic and vocational subjects when selecting their programme of study.
As well as a full academic curriculum, a wide variety of enrichment activities are also available to students throughout their time in the Sixth Form such as the EPQ, Core Maths and DofE. Staff put the needs of their students first, providing them with the skills and personal confidence to be successful in the adult world.
Successful applicants will be well-motivated, hard-working and have excellent attendance. Students must be willing, independent learners and must adhere to coursework deadlines.
All students will have examinations at the end of Year 12 to benchmark progress. The results from these examinations will be used as an indicator that a student has the capability to progress into Year 13.
