Your Passion, Our Passion

At Rainhill Sixth Form Centre there are three elements which we champion:

1. Talented Student’s
2. Diverse Curriculum
3. Specialist Staff

Working in harmony we believe that this is what sets our Sixth Form apart.

We are proud of our impressive track record of success and in educating and equipping our students to fulfil their dreams and aspirations whatever their desired direction in life.

The Passion


We care passionately about each and every one of our student’s and aim to offer the best bespoke advice and guidance we have available. We ensure every student is following the best programme of individual study possible. These are closely matched to student interests and ambitions which are discussed at the enrolment interview. Further, this is then explored and reviewed through the weekly tutorials which we offer to all our students throughout the two years they are with us. By combining excellent academic success alongside personal care and support we strive to provide a happy, self-motivating, creative and challenging environment for students to be part of and to be successful in.

We will always adopt high standards and expectations for ourselves and for our student’s. How can we become even more successful in the future? Well, the difference might just be you! Making contact Your passion, our passion.

The Aims


As a Sixth Form Centre and Management Team we are committed to educating and developing students as a whole person. Universities and prospective employers are not just looking at a student’s impressive academic record but are increasingly and more importantly considering their character and personal experiences which make them unique as an applicant. We are therefore focused on ensuring that every student is provided with opportunities not only to develop academically but that they are able to develop the necessary skills and unique qualities to achieve success in the future.

Our aims are to support you to:

  • Be healthy
  • Stay safe
  • Enjoy and achieve
  • Make a positive contribution
  • Achieve economic well being

    The Transition

    To ensure students’ settle in quickly to the demands of Level 3 study, we interview every single applicant. During this progression interview we discuss with the student their future plans and the pathways possible to achieve them. We try our best to match student ambition with the appropriate advice and guidance so that a student’s programme of study with us will allow them to progress in the right direction to allow all our students to fulfil their potential. Early in September we host a Parent’s Welcome Evening and we explain the expectations and responsibilities necessary for our students to be successful and discuss the ways in which we all need to work together as a team to benefit all our students in their progression through Post-16 study.
