college feel.
school support.
At Brooksbank Sixth Form, we're all about big dreams and small classes. Imagine a place that doesn’t feel like high school, but its not a massive college either. It’s that Goldilocks zone - big enough for all the opportunities and freedom you need to spread your wings, but small enough to offer unwavering, individualised support to help you fly high.
There are currently over 240 students here.
Most of these attended Brooksbank School but increasing numbers join us from schools all over Calderdale. Our aim is to provide a first class educational experience for every one of our students. Academic achievement is top priority for us and we are proud of our wide ranging and extensive Curriculum Provision.
Experiences are what make us.
It's not just a place to study; it's a place where everyone knows your name. Whether you're transitioning from our lower school or joining us from nearby schools, you're not just another student here – you're a part of our family.
We have a lot to offer our students:
a wide range of academic and vocational programmes
a friendly and welcoming learning community with high quality teaching and excellent facilities and resources
an environment where each student is guided and advised by our specialist support team
access to high quality careers guidance to ensure progression to university or employment
a host of social, sporting, artistic and recreational opportunities
courses
With over 30 subjects to choose from, taught by experts, you can follow your passions. Course choices tailored to you, whether you choose academic or vocational option, or combine the two. Our C6 partnership opens up even more possibilities.
Explore our wide range of courses, and check out the entry requirements, from level 4 in English and/or Maths.
Meet the Team
After a warm welcome, students will experience exciting learning opportunities and high quality teaching and guidance from dedicated professionals.

A welcome from our Head of Sixth Form
Brooksbank Sixth Form is more than a natural extension of The Brooksbank School - its a bridge to success. Our school has a rich history, and our sixth form carries forward that legacy, whilst facing confidently to the future.
A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
Here, we’re all about community and people. It’s not just a place to study; it’s somewhere you belong. Whether you’re transitioning from our lower school or joining us from nearby schools, this is a friendly place where you will never be treated like a statistic.
We’ve got your back with our dedicated sixth form team, subject teachers, and senior leaders to support and guide you as you journey into adulthood. We foster incredible relationships between our staff and students.
The bond created here doesn’t fade with time – we’ve got alumni who come back to inspire and guide our students, and some even return as teaching staff.
A BRIGHT FUTURE
We believe in empowering our students, both academically and personally. You have the flexibility to choose from more than 30 A-level and BTEC courses, tailoring your learning experience to your own interests and goals.
Our students acheive fantastic grades but they also develop the self-discipline and confidence needed to succeed in whatever path they choose, whether it’s higher education or something else.
With our outstanding individual support, you’re not thrown in at the deep end, but helped to build tools for life and independence beyond our doors.
COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES
There’s more. We’re deeply connected to our local community, have outreach programmes to universities including Oxford and Cambridge, offer timetabled enrichment sessions, and supportive study sessions.
You can get involved with KS3 mentoring sessions, school productions, trips, social committees and much more.
Your time at Brooksbank Sixth Form is about enjoying the journey, seizing opportunities, and building the best portfolio possible for your bright future. We’re here to make your time at sixth form unforgettable and set you up for whatever comes next.
I’m so proud of our students and love seeing them grow into amazing young adults. My team and I are here to make your time at sixth form unforgettable and set you up for whatever comes next. I look forward to speaking to you about your future.
