MATHS CHALLENGE: it was the final round of this year’s FE Maths Challenge yesterday. Students from across the region competed against each other to decide the winners of this year’s challenge. Wilberforce won the Funkies categories, but for the Go Forth category, it went right down to the final round of the challenge to decide who would win the category. Franklin did eventually win the Go Forth category, but after some fierce competition from the Wilberforce team. 🧮

A word from our Principal, Colin
Welcome to Wilberforce Sixth Form College. I hope you find the information you are looking for and that it gives you a flavour of everything we have to offer.
Wilberforce College has been a prominent establishment in the Hull community since 1988. We have grown year on year and currently serve around 1,350 students from East Hull, West Hull and the East Riding villages.
We offer all the specialisms of a sixth form college, delivering exclusively to 16-19 years olds, but have a broad curriculum that includes A Level, T Level, BTEC and City & Guilds qualifications. Our Level 3 Advanced qualifications are particularly successful and we continuously see our students progress to some of the best universities and careers.
The College’s support services are outstanding and complement students’ learning to ensure that they have the best chance of success and their experience with us extends beyond the classroom.
We continue to make significant investment in the College’s facilities, staff and students, ensuring that we remain the first choice for students, both now and in future years.
