Whether you’re an experienced or newly-qualified teacher, Blackpool Sixth is the perfect place to build your career – and enjoy a great quality of life.
Our students are exceptional too. They’re achieving a 98% pass rate, more than 75% progress to HE and seven have received offers from Oxbridge for next year.
We are proud that we have been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. That’s largely down to the dedication of our high-performing teaching team. Focused on the particular needs of 16 to 19 year old students through a range of courses (mainly AS/A Levels and BTECs), their goal is to educate the whole person within a close and caring community.
Our Performing Arts, Music and Media (PAMM) department is a dynamic, vibrant and pioneering place to study and work. Bringing these three subject areas together offers new and exciting opportunities for performance and collaborative working. We have a brand new £25 million development, plus state-of-the-art facilities including an industry standard 300-seat professional theatre, two black out drama studios and a purpose built dance studio, as well as numerous practice rooms and recording studios. In short, it’s the perfect place for an enthusiastic, inspiring and positive teacher like you to thrive.
So what about your ambitions? We’ll make sure you enjoy all the professional development you need to achieve them and you will get great support from our team. We will value your innovative thinking and fresh ideas as you teach at AS/A Level and BTEC. It’s your opportunity to help young people to achieve their goals and develop lifelong learning.
We are in an exceptional location on the Lancashire border, not far from the Ribble Valley, Lake District and stunning Fylde coast. The vibrant cities of Manchester and Liverpool are both within easy reach
In return, we offer excellent Terms and Conditions including 195 working days per year and access to the Teachers' Pension Scheme.

We are a high-achieving sixth form, giving our students an excellent springboard to success. We educate the whole student, providing all with excellent teaching and opportunities for growth and personal development. We are recognised by Ofsted as an outstanding sixth form. We are relatively small in size, with just over 2000 students and approximately 200 staff. This means that we are a close and caring community.
We serve the whole Fylde Coast area, which includes Poulton-le-Fylde and Lytham St Annes, as well as Blackpool and the surrounding towns and villages. Blackpool Sixth is a friendly, positive and supportive place to work and is rated Grade One: Outstanding by Ofsted (2009). In 2009, we became one of the first organisations in the country to be awarded the Investors in People Gold Award. Staff are committed to the needs and aspirations of our students and supported by an extensive programme of staff development.
Staff are highly committed to the needs and aspirations of our students. The continued growth in student numbers and planned curriculum developments has enabled the sixth form to invest in new staff and new buildings. The college is designated as a Teaching School in partnership with Hodgson Academy and it's a really exciting time to be part of Blackpool Sixth.
All new staff are offered a thorough induction program; this is supplemented for Newly Qualified Teachers with a comprehensive series of training sessions throughout the academic year. All new staff are allocated a mentor in their probationary year, they are here to offer support and guidance in your new role.It's not just teachers that we develop, both teaching and support staff are involved in an annual programme of staff development, supported by individual performance management reviews and training and development plans.
On top of the internal opportunities staff now also benefit from a wider programme of Continuing Professional Development events which come from being part of the Teaching School Alliance, these include nationally accredited programmes.
