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.

Blackburn College’s Victoria Building will be re-developed using the grant after the college demonstrated the need for Government investment. This investment forms part of the Government’s £1.5bn Further Education Capital Transformation Fund and Blackburn College is one of 16 institutions across the UK to receive a share of the funding. The college’s Victoria Building will be completely re-developed as part of a project to ensure the building and facilities support the skills needs of the local labour market and can contribute to local economic regeneration and the levelling-up of skills.
