The Sixth Form Bolton is proud to highlight the remarkable achievement of many of its students who are progressing onto highly prestigious degree apprenticeships. The Sixth Form runs its very own Apprenticeship Academy, supporting and mentoring students on their journey to secure higher and degree apprenticeships. 

Degree apprenticeships are a unique pathway in higher education and allow students to learn through a combination of working and studying, all while earning a wage, making them a highly sought-after option for those leaving college and beyond.
