About Bolton Sixth Form College

Bolton Sixth Form College holds a Good rating from Ofsted, and its most recent exam data for the 2023/24 academic year paints a mixed picture. The college’s average points per entry for A-levels sits at 31.78, which equates to a grade of C+. The best three A-levels average grade is also C+, with a points score of 32.77. However, the value-added score is -0.16, placing the college in the ‘Below average’ progress banding. This means that, on average, students achieved slightly lower A-level grades than would be expected given their prior attainment at GCSE. Only 9.8 per cent of entries achieved the top AAB grades or higher. With 444 students in the cohort, it is a large sixth form, and the data suggests that while students leave with solid qualifications, the college is not currently adding significant academic value compared with national benchmarks.
