Welcome to Mildenhall College Academy

Welcome to Mildenhall College Academy and especially MCA6, our dedicated sixth form centre. You will see from this prospectus and our website the excellent facilities and range of subjects we have to offer. We are really excited to be part of the ‘Mildenhall Hub’ which has the Academy and Sixth Form at the heart of it. Sixth Form students now have access to state-of-the-art sports facilities including; an Olympic swimming pool, all weather pitches, over 170-piece gym, modern library and health facilities. Not only does this offer access to facilities for lesson and personal use but also for work experiences across a range of industries and professions. Every young person deserves an excellent education and an opportunity to attend a Sixth Form provision that understands their individual needs, allowing them to thrive and be happy, and help them achieve academic success whatever their ability or circumstances. I believe the inspirational teaching, safe and caring environment, expert advice and guidance along with the wide range of high-quality enrichment opportunities that MCA6 provides, all learners can achieve. My aim is for all learners in our Sixth Form to develop their knowledge, talents and values so they can be successful and make a positive contribution to their community.
