About Rochdale Sixth Form College

Rochdale Sixth Form College is a large state-funded 16-19 mixed sixth form in the Rochdale local authority area, with a school capacity of 1,480 places. The college is led by headteacher Karl Smith and has no religious character. While the data does not include a specific free school meals percentage for the college, the local authority context shows a Progress 8 average of -0.25, which is below the national average, suggesting the area has a higher-than-average proportion of disadvantaged pupils. The college is oversubscribed, with 870 pupils on roll, indicating strong demand from local families. This is a significant number given the capacity, and it suggests the college is a popular choice for post-16 education in the region. The college is not a boarding school and does not offer nursery provision, focusing entirely on sixth-form study.
