Colin Peaks, Principal, Wilberforce Sixth Form College
A word from our Principal, Colin
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.

ADELPHI TAKEOVER 🎶
Thursday night saw our @ualawardingbody Music Performance & Production students absolutely smash their gig at the @the_adelphi_club 🎸
Not only did they perform, they managed, organised and executed the entire show themselves. Well done to all!
A special thank you to MEZ, lead singer of @lifeband and NHS Youth Mental Health Practitioner, for mentoring and inspiring our students along the way. Your support meant the world to them! ✨
The dedication and hard work of the second year students not only gave them a great industry insight, it also delivered an unforgettable night of live music for all who attended as well as raising funds for @papyrus_uk - an incredible charity supporting suicide prevention amongst young people. 🙌

TEAM MOVEMBER 🥸
As well as our college-wide event at the beginning of the month, some of our wonderful staff members have been growing some marvellous moustaches throughout, in aid of @movember and helping to spread awareness of men’s health issues including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and male suicide prevention.⭐️
Special shout out to Paul from the Employer Engagement team who did a reverse challenge and had his moustache, beard and head of hair auctioned off for the charity before he braved the shave in the Atrium! 💈

Sammi Iverson
PAST BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS & GEOGRAPHY STUDENT
Sammi, formerly of Withernsea High School, has gone onto achieve great success pursuing her ambition of a career within the scientific industry. After studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography with Wilberforce, Sammi continued her educational journey at the University of Hull studying for a degree in Biomedical Science – much to the joy of her former Biology teacher Martin who she is still fondly remembered by! Sammi’s positive outlook and cheery demeanour as a Wilberforce student was equal to her hard work and commitment to her studies, so it is no surprise she committed herself to completing her doctorate in Medical Microbiology at Hull York Medical School. Using this impressive track record of excellence in research, she secured an R&D post at Reckitt, quickly transferring to her current role as a medical writer for Reckitt’s Global Affairs Division, seeing her travel the world using her passion for science communication and expertise to advise and educate consumers and fellow researchers in this global medical giant. Sammi has shone brightly since her days at Wilberforce and we are so proud of her achievements which we were delighted to celebrate during our recent Achievement Awards Evening.
