Blanchelande is to suspend its sixth form

BLANCHELANDE COLLEGE will not be taking its current Year 10 and Year 11 students through their A-levels. It says there will not be enough students to make that viable.

The increase in students leaving the college for the Grammar School Sixth Form Centre is one of the reasons why the college has made the decision.

It says that because the numbers of pupils in the two years were smaller compared to other years, there would only be around six students who would stay on to do their A-levels.

Vice-principal Patrick Harland (pictured) said in recent years around 75% of students had left to do their final exams elsewhere.
