Welcome to Bidwell Brook School

Our Sixth Form aims to develop the skills necessary to ensure a smooth transition from our school to further education, employment, training and social or health care provision. Most of our Sixth Form students come from our school and may stay for up to three years, depending on their transition plan.As with most student admissions into a Post 16 setting at this time, entry into Bidwell Brook's Sixth Form department will require an application form to be completed and a selection process will follow before a student place can be confirmed. We highly recommend families in Year 11 spending time in the Autumn Term visiting alternative Post 16 providers, attending Transitions Fayres and speaking to their CSW Representative to be able to make an informed choice of the most suitable Post 16 provision for their young person. If families feel Bidwell Brook's Sixth Form department can deliver the right educational pathway for their young person, a completed application form will need to be submitted to us by the end of the Year 11 Autumn Term. A copy of the form is below and an FAQ.

At the heart of the Sixth Form is its links with the local community, for example businesses, colleges and community groups. The curriculum encourages students to be active in their local area and where possible, learn in the community, allowing students to foster and maintain strong supportive networks that can continue beyond their school years into adulthood. With an extensive vocational and Careers & Enterprise Programme at the Learn to Live Federation, students are able to extend their cooking, gardening, enterprise and work-related learning skills.
