Whitburn Sixth Form 💙

Year 11? Parent or Carer? Date for your diary! Our Sixth Form Open Evening will take place in the New Year on Thursday Feb 5th. Come & chat about life here at Sixth Form. If you'd like advice before then, drop us a line at sixthformadmissions@whitburncofeacademy.org @WhitCofEAcad

All set for open evening. Weather has conspired against us but a warm welcome and some food samples will hopefully make up for that! Come and talk to our fantastic student ambassadors in 20 subject areas.

@Jayturnercooke7 Great to hear things are working out so well for you at Halifax @Jayturnercooke7. Sounds like you’ve found a home and will kick on from here. Just heard you mentioned in the half-time report on the radio too so another good game. Well done, keep it up!! Mr Craggs
