TELFORD 6th

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Telford College creating Telford 6th?

To offer more choice, and a wider range of exciting opportunities which prepare young people for their next steps into employment or higher education – all delivered in a modern, focused, state-of-the-art learning facility exclusively for A level students.

Not quite. While we offer the same academic opportunities as traditional sixth forms (and in some cases more), Telford 6th combines a sixth form environment with strong student support, outstanding new facilities and a convenient location in the heart of Telford. Students will enjoy more independence, a wider choice of courses, and access to modern facilities designed specifically for post-16 learning.
Our focus is on delivering outstanding teaching, tailored support, and real-world opportunities. We provide excellent progression routes to university, apprenticeships, and careers, backed by experienced staff and a vibrant student community.
Entry requirements vary by course, but typically students need five GCSEs at grade 4–9, including English and maths. Some subjects require specific grades.
Applications can be made online via the Telford College website. Students can also apply during open events or through their school’s careers adviser.
We recommend applying by January of the year you wish to start, but applications are accepted throughout the academic year while places remain available.

Telford Town Centre has plenty of pay and display parking within walking distance to the campus, many offering discounted hourly rates to students. Telford 6th is also within easy walking distance of Telford Central railway station, and Telford Town Centre bus terminal. All of our dedicated Telford College bus routes will also pick up and drop off at the new campus.

Students with accessibility requirements can be dropped off in the campus car park.

Where is the Telford 6th campus located?

It is in the heart of the new Station Quarter development in Telford Town Centre, adjacent to The Quad, which is home to our Digital & Maths Skills Hub. You can find us at Ironmasters Way, TF3 4NT.

Moving our A level provision to the town centre will allow us to further expand our vocational training provision at the Wellington campus, which will become a specialist vocational training centre.
