Blue Coat Sixth Form

Happy Easter to all our students, staff, and families! 🌷🐣

Wishing you a relaxing break and a season filled with hope, renewal, and brighter days ahead.

Big congratulations to our students Maisie, Grace, Hannah, Phoebe, Megan, Billie, Jordan and Isaac for winning the Bench Ball Tournament! 🏆🎉

You showed great teamwork, determination, and effort from start to finish—and it really paid off. 💪👏

We’re really proud of you all, what a fantastic achievement!

Our Gold DofE students took on an incredible navigation expedition in the Peak District last weekend! 🏕️🥾

After completing navigation and first aid training, students put their skills into practice - walking approximately 17km on Sunday while carrying their full kit. A fantastic display of resilience, teamwork, and determination 💪

Well done to all involved on a brilliant achievement! 👏

A huge thank you to Cooper Parry for visiting and speaking with our students about career opportunities within the firm.

It was especially inspiring to hear Kiara share her journey from A Levels, through university, and into her role at Cooper Parry - offering valuable insight and motivation for our students as they consider their own future pathways.

We’re excited about the opportunity to continue building and strengthening our relationship with Cooper Parry 🤝

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak! ✨🌙

Wishing staff, students and their families a joyful and blessed Eid al-Fitr. May this special day bring peace, happiness, and endless blessings into your life. 🤍

May your hearts be filled with gratitude, your homes with laughter, and your days with prosperity.

Our Year 12 A Level Geography students recently completed two days of fieldwork across multiple locations including a visit to Maes Parcio Ynes to collect sand dunes data.

During the visit, students spent one day studying coastal processes along the Anglesey coastline and a second day investigating changing places within the local area. The experience provided a valuable opportunity for students to apply their classroom learning in real-world environments while developing their fieldwork and research skills.

It was a fantastic and engaging experience that supported their A Level Geography studies and helped bring key geographical concepts to life.

A big thank you to The Brian Clarke C of E Academy for inviting our students along for a drop-in session to chat with their pupils about life at The Blue Coat Sixth Form.

Our student ambassadors had some fantastic conversations, answered lots of thoughtful questions, and even squeezed in a cheeky game of chess! ♟️

It was great to see so many engaged and curious students - we loved sharing what makes sixth form life at Blue Coat such a great experience. We hope to see some of you again soon!

What a fantastic afternoon in the beautiful sunshine!

Our entire Year 12 cohort headed into Manchester to attend the UCAS Discovery Exhibition at Manchester Central.

Students had the opportunity to:
🎓 Engage face-to-face with representatives from over 100 universities, colleges, and apprenticeship employers
🛤️ Explore a wide range of pathways and future options
🎤 Attend live expert talks on key topics
📚 Access the latest advice and guidance on career choices

A hugely valuable day helping our students take exciting steps towards their futures!

We’re proud to be supporting National Careers Week!

At Blue Coat, this is a fantastic opportunity for our Year 12 students to start thinking about their next steps and exploring what they might like to do after Sixth Form. From university and apprenticeships to employment and beyond, the future is full of possibilities - and it starts with informed choices.

Let’s get planning, exploring and aiming high! 🚀

A huge thank you to the Kinder Language Network for inviting our Sixth Form to the motivational careers event at The Brian Clarke C of E Academy this morning!

We’re so proud of students Morgan and Megan, who were fantastic Blue Coat ambassadors, speaking to Year 9 students from schools across Oldham about the importance of learning languages and sharing why they chose to continue studying a language at Sixth Form. 🌍✨

Inspiring the next generation to embrace languages and the opportunities they open up!

Our Sixth Form students are back from an unforgettable week in Lungau, Austria⛷️

The annual ski trip was packed with adventure, progress, and plenty of fun! Students took part in 5 hours of ski lessons each day, building their skills and confidence on the slopes while enjoying the stunning alpine scenery.

But the fun didn’t stop there… Après-ski activities kept everyone entertained with a fantastic quiz night, pizza night, a thrilling ride on the scenic mountain coaster, bowling, and much more!

A huge well done to our students for representing Blue Coat so brilliantly – and thank you to the staff who made this incredible experience possible. What amazing memories made!
