We are celebrating the opening of our sixth form doors for the very first time to students in the area this week.
Named ‘ag6’, the new sixth form, has already confirmed 81 students will be attending, which is temporarily housed in Lea Brook School on Burnley Road.
As you know, the new £8m four-storey building is due to be completed in December and will eventually cater for up to 300 students.
Head teacher Iain Hulland can’t wait to welcome the new sixth formers and says: “ag6 has been designed to provide a holistic environment for our students which combines everything a young adult needs to thrive in the 21st century world.
“Our aim is to enrich our students not only intellectually but also socially, physically, and emotionally. We are offering all academic A level courses and, as part of our Applied Learning
School status, students can also streamline vocational choice with A levels.
“In fact, we will be the only sixth form in Rossendale to offer students a wide ranging combination of high quality traditional A levels and equally high quality Applied Learning qualifications that are valued locally, nationally and globally.
“The new state-of-the-art centre has been designed with this in mind and will include everything from science laboratories, a media studio and performance space to nursery and creche facilities for child development students, as well as ICT and library facilities.
“This is an exciting new chapter in the life of Alder Grange and we look forward to welcoming our new sixth formers this week.”
