About Newcastle Sixth Form College
Newcastle Sixth Form College
Established in 2013, Newcastle Sixth Form College focuses on academic qualifications with an emphasis on providing students with the qualifications they need to progress to University.
NSFC attracts students from over 100 schools from Newcastle and across the North East to access our dedicated facilities and broad A Level offer, with 27 subjects available to study.
Our students choose NSFC for our inclusive approach. They welcome the opportunity to study subject combinations that allow them to progress, in an environment which bridges the gap between school and university. We have also developed a strong ‘respect’ ethos within the college and student feedback indicates that they feel safe and supported regardless of their background, gender or other characteristics; this is because we strongly maintain that there should be no barrier to success at NSFC.
As well as expert A Level tuition we have an enrichment offer of over 40 activities designed to socially and physically develop our students and help prepare them for their next step.
We are active members of both the Association of Colleges and the Sixth Form Colleges Association.

Location
When I started at Newcastle Sixth Form College I was quiet and had rarely contributed to school activities at my previous school. I wanted to focus on my academic subjects, and sixth form was a fresh start. My time at sixth form changed my outlook completely, and allowed me to gain the self confidence, belief and skills which enabled me to grow so much more than just academically. My teachers were fantastic, and the overall experience I had was really important, as it allowed me to see what I was truly capable of achieving.’
