Barrow Sixth Form College, part of Furness College, is in the outskirts of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. Barrow Sixth Form College was established in 1979 to fulfil the role of the main A level provider in Barrow following the merger of the two Barrow Grammar Schools and their change to deliver education to only 11 to 16 year-olds. It is the only sixth form college in Cumbria. A levels and Cambridge Technical qualifications are taught in buildings that have been specially designed for students over the age of sixteen. It includes facilities for physically disabled students and is a satellite campus for Beaumont. The college primarily educates students within the age range of 16–18 years, as well as courses for adult learners.
In August 2016, the college gained chartered college status.[1] This membership is awarded to the higher performing further education colleges and training providers in the UK.[2] The college is also a member of the National Skills Academy for Nuclear.[3]
In 2024 the campus was rebranded from 'Barrow Sixth Form College' to 'The Sixth Form'.
