Principal's Message

Janet Felkin

Learning is a life-long process and not something that ends when compulsory education comes to an end. Consequently, I am pleased you are seriously considering continuing or re-kindling your studies in order to fulfil your ambition.
In the past our Sixth Form College has proved attractive to students from other schools, adults from the wider community as well as former members of Blatchington Mill School. More recently, there has been close collaboration with Hove Park Sixth Form Centre. Students from both institutions take some of their courses in the `other' sixth form.

The College is accommodated in a building which was completely refurbished a few years ago and is separate from the main school. Students have specialist rooms, computer access for the exclusive use of Sixth Formers and an enlarged common room They also have their own area of the Research and Information Centre (RIC).

There are also excellent resources for practical/creative subjects such as Art, Science and Sport in the main building.

Furthermore, Blatchington Mill is established as a specialist college for the Performing Arts, Mathematics and Computing and more recently Vocational Studies.

The College will, however, continue to offer a wide range of academic Level 3 courses and these will be supplemented by an increasing number of vocational opportunities at Level 2 and 3.

How to choose the right course

The College is largely self-contained and provides facilities for adults requiring intellectual stimulation with independence, yet ready access to tutors who can provide guidance when needed. Many students have benefited from a combination of academic success and personal development whilst members of Blatchington Mill's Sixth Form.
