Rochdale Sixth Form College (RSFC) is one of the best sixth form colleges in the country. The college is extremely proud of its outstanding academic performance and the outstanding support that it provides for young people. The college particularly prides itself on the value that it adds to students, in terms of higher grades and achievement in both A level and Applied General/BTEC qualifications, and in terms of progression to university, apprenticeships and employment. Having recently retained its Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ status, the college is in a superb position to welcome the next generation to study and to succeed.

RSFC is a specialist sixth from college. We specialise in delivering A level and BTEC qualifications. We employ specialist teachers and support staff who love working with young adults. Having a wide range of courses to choose from, and with outstanding advice and guidance, students are well placed to select and study courses that will support both their progression and career aspirations, and to have a learning experience that they will really enjoy! Once having studied here, you will forever be a member of the RSFC family and always be warmly welcomed back.

I do hope that you will come and join us.

Best wishes,

Karl

The Altus Education Partnership is a Multi Academy Trust (MAT) and was established in April 2017 by the governing body of Rochdale Sixth Form College, an outstanding A level provider established in 2010.

The college was awarded outstanding status by Ofsted in 2013 and has developed a national reputation for excellence, having been used in Ofsted case studies for sharing best practice.

The development of the Trust stemmed from a commitment to raising aspirations and improving the life chances of young people throughout the borough of Rochdale. In 2019 the Trust was successful in its application to open a new free school, the Edgar Wood Academy, which will serve the local community in Middleton and Heywood.
