Sixth Form

Together Tollbar Business, Enterprise & Humanities College and The Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education have created a dynamic educational initiative with the formation of a joint Sixth Form College in North East Lincolnshire.   Together they have established the North East Lincolnshire Sixth Form Partnership which offers an enhanced range of AS and A2 courses.  

This now successful venture was created in 2002 in the interests of students, offering the benefits of combined resources in facilities and staffing expertise. Students have the opportunity to select from an expanded range of AS/A2 subjects delivered across both sites.   In the future, pending a successful outcome of a current application, TBEC and GIFHE aim to be the first provider of the International Baccalaureate Diploma in North East Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.   This will significantly add to the learning opportunities open to all learners at 16 plus.

All students will be able to complete their full A Level options until the full transition from A Level to International Baccalaureate Diploma has been completed in the coming years.   During the change over AS and A2 subjects will continue to run for all students already enrolled on their courses.  

This North East Lincolnshire Sixth Form Partnership offers students outstanding facilities from each institution, such as the new £50,000 science laboratories at GIFHE and the new state of the art digital language laboratory at Tollbar Business & Enterprise College.

The combined Sixth Form cultures allow students to experience different educational environments and prepare for a move into Higher Education. Students also benefit from expanded Enrichment opportunities through the wide range of programmes on offer at both institutions.
