One of our main priorities at The Sixth Form is the welfare of our students. As part of this we work to enable our students to overcome any financial barrier in pursuit of their learning. 
Bursary 

We run a successful bursary scheme that supports students facing the greatest barriers to continuing in education. Assistance is tailored to individual needs through the purchase of essential resources and help with college-related costs

Free Meals/Bursary 

Free meals are available at the Sixth Form for students whose parents or carers receive Universal Credit.

If approved, you will also be eligible for support with college-related costs through the College Bursary. Applications can be made via the Student Portal during enrolment.

This is a valuable benefit for Sixth Form students, enabling free travel to and from college to suit their timetable. Find out how to apply  here.

Students who live more than four miles from the Sixth Form and outside Greater Manchester may receive non-means-tested support with weekly travel costs—please enquire at Student Information.
