South Liverpool to get new Sixth Form College

A new Sixth Form College is opening in South Liverpool this September.

All Saints Sixth Form College, which will be based on the existing £26m Enterprise South Liverpool Academy (ESLA) campus, represents a collaboration between ESLA and The Academy of St Francis of Assisi.

Both part academies form part of The Liverpool Joint Catholic and Church of England Academies Trust.

Students at the Sixth Form will have access to breakout areas for independent study, a full-size auditorium, 3D theatre and Mac computer suites along with eight acres of outdoor space.

Leisure facilities will include a gymnasium and Astroturf pitch.

The executive headteacher of the Trust, Anne Pontifex, said: “The introduction of All Saints Sixth Form College is great news for the region.

“The all new, innovative Sixth Form will focus on quality post-16 education in a caring and nurturing environment.”

She continued: “Different routes to further education and employment will be available for students as well a varied enrichment programme dedicated to developing personal and social skills needed for the world of work.

“All Saints Sixth Form College will have strong community, education and business links which will allow students to prosper and achieve their aspirations.”

The opening, kicking off next month with an official launch night, will see ESLA renamed The Academy of St Nicholas.
