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, UAL 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.

WALES 2025
Recently, our first-year A Level Geographers took to the wild landscapes of North Wales for their annual fieldwork adventure and what a week they had! 🌍✨
From rivers and coastlines to rural towns and rugged hills, students explored both physical and human environments while collecting data for next year’s NEA projects. The trip gave them a chance to build essential skills in real-world conditions, from navigating terrain to applying field techniques under pressure. 🧭📋
Whether you`re passionate about the planet or considering a geography-based future, this is the kind of learning that brings the subject to life.
📚 Still thinking about your A Level options? It’s not too late to apply; and maybe you’ll be joining us for Wales Week next year! See our Course page via our Linktree
Follow @wilberforcegeography to see more from the trip (and meet their many mascot companions 🐾).

Wilberforce Alumni
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.
