Work is underway on a new sixth form centre - offering students more choice when it comes to their education. Refurbishment is underway at the existing St Paul’s Centre at Blackburn College which will house a brand-new Blackburn Sixth Form. The redevelopment will create a self-contained Blackburn Sixth Form with drop-off facilities, study areas and classrooms, with work set to expand the existing purpose-built classrooms and teaching spaces, scientific laboratories, student hub, computing suites and café. Principal Fazal Dad said: “Blackburn Sixth Form will offer a safe, welcoming, inclusive learning environment for all students. “The development will be open from September offering a wide range of A-level courses and complementary vocational qualifications for school leavers aged 16-19.

Clitheroe resident Myles Campbell was recognised with a silver award in the BTEC Sports Learner of the Year category. Myles was praised for his positive attitude towards the practical elements of his Level 3 BTEC Sport course and how he embraced his work experience. Myles said: “I want to become a role model to other students by becoming a teacher at some stage, this is because my college tutors are my role models and I want to follow in their footsteps.”
