WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF CENTRE
At Eccles Sixth Form College we are incredibly proud of our students, our staff, and everything we achieve together. We ensure students reach their full potential, which is our number one priority and our outstanding achievement rates reflect our vision to ensure that they are all successful.
We are committed to providing a well-balanced and stimulating curriculum for all students, delivered by some of the very best teachers in the country. All of our teaching staff are experts in their vocational subject areas and many have worked in industry. Our committed and passionate staff help ensure our students progress successfully beyond sixth form college, by supporting, challenging and guiding them every step of the way.
Our state-of-the-art facilities are based within a spacious, green environment set in a leafy residential area. They include a Football Association approved 4G AstroTurf pitch, an industry-standard gym and a sports performance laboratory. We have one of the country’s most outstanding animal management centres, which extends over four acres of land and includes over 250 different species. Inside we have nocturnal, small mammal, and aquarium rooms sitting alongside well-equipped laboratories and veterinary nursing suites. Those studying equine studies will spend some of their time taught by British Horse Society instructors at the well-renowned Ryders Farm Equestrian Centre, which has an indoor riding arena, cross country course, and over 50 horses.
At Eccles Sixth Form College, students become part of the college community and can access all that we have to offer. We provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities, trips, and societies so students can fully immerse themselves in college life. We have established excellent working partnerships with local and national employers so students can gain valuable industry insight and be prepared for their next steps. The college has a highly successful partnership with Manchester United and has developed successful male and female football teams. We are proud to be the current Manchester FA ‘Universities and Colleges’ County Cup Champions.
We take great pride in our students’ successes and our vibrant college community, and we look forward to welcoming a new cohort to Eccles Sixth Form College in the next academic year.
