At The Sixth Form Bolton, we believe in developing the whole person as we want you to achieve your full potential in and out of the classroom. As a B6 student, you will have the opportunity to take part in our extensive enrichment programme, this includes a wide range of career and life enhancing activities, clubs and societies. 

Enrichment teaches you new skills and builds on your existing subject knowledge to make you stand out from the crowd when applying for university or employment. It is also a great way for you to make new friends and have fun.

B6 offers a wide range of enrichment activities which you can take part in alongside your academic studies. Students can choose to pick up shorter 6 week enrichment clubs which run each half term, or commit to a longer term enrichment that runs all year. Although enrichment is completely optional, we believe in creating a balance between studying for your qualifications and doing something you find personally rewarding. Activities vary each year and are tailored to student demand.

We also provide an enrichment day, which is a day filled with fun events, workshops and trips, meaning by the end of year 1 all students will have participated in at least 3 hours or more of enrichment activities.
