MOUNT MUSWELL 🏔️
On Thursday a group of 2nd Year Public Service students raised in excess of £500 to help our neighbours of Muswell Court make improvements to their communal garden.🪴
Each student climbed the tower block’s 16 flights of stairs 18 times each… which equates to the height of Mount Everest!!!
A massive well done to you all, what an achievement! 🌟

REDHEAD RESIDENCE 📱
Yesterday the college was delighted to welcome social media stars and Hull locals Carrie and Joel aka @redhead.residence ⭐️
The inspirational duo spoke about their honest experiences and struggles overcoming adversity as individuals, and as a family.
In their true unfiltered-style, the pair answered student-prepared questions which ranged from issues with inequality they’ve faced in the wider community, their recent wedding, personal struggles and the positive impact social media has had on their lives.
Thank you Carrie and Joel for sharing your story so candidly and for being a beacon of positivity to many, you truly are inspirational!

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.
