Ossett Sixth Form College
At Ossett Sixth Form College we offer first-class academic support to students aged 16-19. Our courses are run by passionate subject specialists who ensure that each and every one of our students can reach their full potential.
Our base within Ossett Academy, Wakefield means that students have access to the great resources and teaching expertise of the wider academy, whilst also enjoying an area exclusive to them. This blend of familiarity and new adventure means that young people can take their first steps into independence without losing the targeted and individual support that they need, making us a popular choice for many students.
Our pathways to progression offer students a personalised programme of study, which, underpinned by our excellent Careers Education, Advice and Guidance, leads students towards their preferred destinations on leaving.
Ossett Sixth Form College is an incredibly dynamic place with opportunities for academic, social, personal and growth experiences abound. We think we are ideally placed to help you make the best of these Post 16 years.

What a fantastic morning welcoming our Year 13 students back to collect their A Level and vocational results.
It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces as we celebrated an excellent set of outcomes, with 70% of grades awarded at A*-C and an impressive 24% at A*-A.
But the results were only part of the story. The real joy was catching up with our students, hearing about their summers so far and talking through the exciting opportunities awaiting them. From university places and apprenticeships to employment and combined pathways, the future is full of possibility.
The Class of 2026 leave us having achieved far more than strong grades. They have shown resilience, determination and kindness throughout their time with us, creating a year group who support one another and celebrate each other's successes. They are a remarkable group of young people, and it has been a privilege to watch them grow.
We will be sad to see them leave, but incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and all that lies ahead.
Congratulations, Class of 2026!

With hot weather forecast, we want to make sure our whole community stays safe and aware of the drowning risks of going into open water. Swimming in ponds, lakes and flooded quarries can be extremely dangerous - between strong underwater currents, cold water shock, debris and discarded waste, toxic algae and sudden changes in water depth, taking a dip just isn't worth the risk. Find out more about how to keep yourself and others safe here: bit.ly/4vXNMuI.

We had a fantastic Post 16 Induction Day!
From the moment students arrived, there was a real buzz around the building. Our Sixth Form Ambassadors did an amazing job welcoming new students, helping them settle in and making sure everyone felt part of the Ossett community from day one.
Throughout the day, students experienced a range of subjects and activities, from Psychology and Biology lessons to a creative Business challenge where students designed festival fashion from bin bags and marketed their creations. We also enjoyed a game of rounders, pizza for lunch and even an ice-cream van visit!
Most importantly, it was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, positivity and teamwork. The day was a brilliant showcase of life at our sixth form and gave students a taste of the opportunities that await them in September.
A huge thank you to all the staff who worked so hard behind the scenes to make the day such a success, as well as our fantastic student ambassadors and helpers who ensured everything ran smoothly.
We can't wait to welcome our new Year 12 students back in September!

Last week our Year 12 Geography students completed a fieldwork visit along the Holderness Coast. They started in Flamborough Head, measuring sediment size and roundness, to see how erosion reduces sediment size. In Hornsea they conducted surveys with the public to identify views about the hard engineering which is used to build up the beach there, and finally in Mappleton, they analysed the effect of transport on sediment all the way down the coast. Students worked hard in groups to collect the data, and enjoyed a good day out in the field.
