About Franklin Sixth Form College

Franklin Sixth Form College sits within the North East Lincolnshire local authority, an area where no secondary school currently holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating. Among the 12 state secondary schools in the borough, the college’s closest academic peers by ranking score are John Whitgift Academy, Healing Academy, and Humberston Academy. As a dedicated sixth form college serving students from age 16 upwards, it occupies a distinct niche in the local landscape, offering a focused post-16 environment rather than a traditional 11–18 school. The college is mixed, non-denominational, and led by headteacher Wendy Ellis. Its facilities include a sixth form centre, library, ICT suite, music rooms, and a swimming pool, alongside sports provision for football, dance, swimming, tennis, rounders, gymnastics, and rugby. A broad range of extracurricular clubs is available, from Model UN and Young Enterprise to coding, drama, chess, film club, DofE, and debate, giving students plenty of scope to develop interests beyond the classroom.
