Join our 6th Form

The Blue is one of the largest school sixth forms in Somerset with 280 students enrolled in the current academic year. 

We have consistently achieved outstanding results at A level, matched by similar success with our BTEC courses. 

Amongst the many advantages of joining The Blue, students benefit from experienced and well-qualified teaching staff, whole academic year teaching to the end of exams in Year 13 and a vibrant enrichment programme. 

As well as our own students, we welcome and encourage applications from students who have previously attended other schools or colleges in the area.
