About Barrow-In-Furness Sixth Form College

Barrow Sixth Form College is one of the few purpose-built sixth form colleges and the only sixth form college in Cumbria. It occupies a single site in an attractive rural setting to the north of the town. 

The buildings have been specially designed for students over the age of sixteen and have facilities for students with physical and other disabilities. 

Students are recruited from six 11 to 16 partner schools in Barrow-in-Furness, two rural 11 to 16 schools at Coniston and Cartmel and from 11 to 18 schools. A significant number of students are from the independent sector and from further afield in the South Lakes area. 

Although the college's main work is to provide full-time courses for students aged 16 to 18, an increasing number of adult learners are also recruited. The college offers 35 general certificate of education (GCE) subjects and one OCR Level 3 National Certificate. Approximately 80% of the students aged 16 to 18 are enrolled on to advanced level courses. At Level 2 students can select from one of 4 OCR National courses which they can study alongside GCSEs. 

The College is an active member of the Furness 14-19 Education Consortium and in that capacity is very involved in the preparations to deliver and offer the new Diplomas In Society, Health and Development and Creative and Media. The College also teaches some courses for 14-16 year olds in partnership with local schools. 

In 2003, a £1 million building programme enhanced the accommodation by providing improved social and dining facilities, a large IT suite and additional classroom space.
