Newcastle Sixth Form College

About Newcastle Sixth Form College

Newcastle Sixth Form College is a dedicated A-level college on Westmorland Road, on the same western edge of the city centre as Newcastle College and part of the same NCG group. It is designed for students who want a purely academic post-sixteen route, focused on A levels, in a campus environment aimed at sixteen-to-nineteen-year-olds rather than the mixed all-age setting of a school sixth form. The college offers a broad menu of A-level subjects with support for progression to university, including to competitive courses and institutions.

Because it sits at the west end of the centre it is an easy walk or short Metro ride from the middle of town, making it a practical option for students living centrally who want an academic sixth form without leaving the city. Entry is based on GCSE results, with subject-specific requirements, and the college holds open events through the year where students and parents can look round and discuss options. It suits students who thrive in a college atmosphere but want the traditional A-level path.
