I am delighted to welcome you to our brand new website. Thomas Whitham Sixth Form here on the Burnley Campus is a cutting edge learning environment and we feel this website supports us to be at the forefront of communicating our vision.
Thomas Whitham Sixth Form’s new facilities represent a huge investment for the young adults of the local area. Coupled with the Public Library and the Faith Centre as well as our Primary partners here on the Burnley Campus, our 21st Century learning environment is truly at the heart of the local community. Of course education is a lot more than just new buildings and first-class facilities. Our experienced and talented team of staff will do everything possible to enable you to realise your potential over the next two years.
After a super OFSTED in 2008, this year has once again seen an excellent set of Advanced Level results. These results reflect very clearly how well all our students achieve at the end of their Sixth Form careers. Averaging close to 50% A-B grades over the last two years with over twenty subjects achieving a 100% pass rate represents a considerable performance after only opening in 2006. These results are due reward for a great deal of endeavour by our students but also are a testament to our staff.
We are also particularly proud of our strong ethos of inclusion and sense of community and the Campus is a vibrant place to be at all times. If browsing through our website whets your appetite and you want to find out more please do not hesitate to contact us or alternatively simply come down and visit us.
I look forward to meeting you in the future.
