The Blackpool Sixth Form College Corporation

Governance: Role of the Governing Body

The Blackpool Sixth Form College is an incorporated body. It is governed by a board of 15 directors. The role of the Board of Directors is to:

  • Agree the strategic direction for the college and ensure clarity of vision and ethos
  • Hold the Principal to account for the educational performance of the college and its students and the performance management of staff
  • Oversee the financial performance of the college, making sure that it remains solvent and that money is well spent.

There is a clear difference between governance and the day-to-day management of the college. The Principal and her Senior Leadership Team are responsible for the operation of the college within the strategic direction agreed by the Corporation.

Chair of Directors’ Message – Wendy Middlemas

At the start of this, my second year as Chair of Directors at The Blackpool Sixth Form College, I am delighted to be able to deliver this message on behalf of the Directors. The leadership, staff, and Directors of the college work tirelessly to provide the highest quality of educational experience for all of our students. We continue to have the highest expectations for students’ academic outcomes and recognise that their future academic and career ambitions depend on maintaining these standards. I am therefore pleased to report that in 2019, the overall pass rate at A Level was 97.6% which represents 1272 passes. Our BTEC results are excellent and of our 34 Level 3 BTEC subjects, 29 (85%) are in the higher band (1-3). Our GCSE examination results were also very pleasing with a 99% pass rate in Maths and 99.5% in English. We are not complacent however and continue to strive for excellence in all our subjects. One of our seven Core Values -Excellence and High Aspirations – states that we are ‘striving to be the best we can be’.
As you may be aware, Sixth Form Colleges have experienced a number of challenges over recent years. Reduced funding in post-16 education has probably presented the greatest challenge. With the introduction of linear A Levels and further proposed changes in the vocational curriculum, the landscape of post-16 education is changing. However, you can be reassured that the Principal and Leadership Team at The Blackpool Sixth Form College have taken appropriate action to manage this effectively and efficiently and continue to provide a beacon of excellent educational provision in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.
