Their commitment, confidence and leadership are already making a real impact — a brilliant example of our Sixth Formers stepping up, giving back, and inspiring the next generation of learners. We are so proud of them! 👏✨

🌟 Meet Culture Loop — Bluecoat Sixth Form's Young Enterprise Team! 🌟

This weekend, our brilliant Young Enterprise group 'Culture Loop' headed out to compete against schools from across the region, proudly showcasing their innovative product: Diversikey 🔑✨

Diversikey is designed to celebrate individuality and cultural identity — a unique, meaningful accessory created by the team from concept to production. Their stall looked fantastic, their pitch was confident, and they represented our Sixth Form with real professionalism and passion.

We’re incredibly proud of everything they’ve achieved so far — and this is just the beginning! 🙌

📣 Thinking about joining our Sixth Form?
We’re still accepting applications for September 2026! If you want to be part of a Sixth Form that champions creativity, leadership, and real‑world opportunities like Young Enterprise, we’d love to hear from you.

The Sixth Form is beginning to feel very festive, with our wreath gifted by a parent and christmas tree decorated by students.

With Year 12 mock exams over by the end of the day today, we will be diving even further into the festive season next week.

👉Christmas service at St. Margaret's on Wednesday morning 8.30-9am, with a singing performance by one of our Year 12 students
👉Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday to raise money for Feeding Britain, our charity of the half term selected by the Sixth Form https://feedingbritain.org/
👉Christmas Dinner on Thursday with Christmas music in the common room
👉End of term inter form quiz on the last day, with rounds written by our Student Council

Our Sixth Form students have been hard at work this half term, planning and delivering exciting BTEC Business events!

As part of their course, students take on the challenge of setting objectives, developing ideas, producing cost analyses, creating marketing materials, evaluating risks, and managing the event from start to finish.

This term’s activities included a dead hang challenge, a scavenger hunt, a raffle, and a bake sale—with the bake sale alone raising nearly £200 for charity!

It’s been fantastic to see so many of our students supporting each other and showcasing their entrepreneurial skills. Well done to everyone involved!

Young Enterprise Launched at Bluecoat Sixth Form!

Young Enterprise is a UK-based national charity that empowers young people by providing hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and financial education. Students form and run their own real businesses over the course of an academic year, and will be involved in product development, marketing, managing finances and selling to the public.

Students will develop employability skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, financial literacy and innovation, giving students a competitive edge to support future applications for university, degree apprenticeships and their future career.

We look forward to tracking their progress!
