AG6 opens its doors

The new sixth form has opened its doors at Lea Brook in Rawtenstall, until the new ag6 building is complete.

The new sixth formers started off the week doing all sorts of fun things including a murder mystery morning, enrichment fair, site visits, outdoor adventure trip to Hothersall Lodge and student council elections to help them ease into sixth from life.

Jo Griffiths, Head of Sixth Form, said: “We wanted this first week to be about getting to know ag6, setting the tone and the ethos of the sixth form. We want to let our students know that we are a continuation of and complement to the main school, but we are a more grown up version. We’ve asked students to wear smart, professional work clothes.”

“Work on the new building is going well and we are on target to open at the end of the year. As part of their first day students were given a tour of the new building – so they could see how work is progressing. The external building work is nearing completion and the partitions on the inside have been put up so things are really starting to take shape.

“The opening of our sixth form has been a long time coming – it’s quite a momentous occasion.”
