About Solihull Sixth Form College

Solihull Sixth Form College is a large state sixth form in Solihull, with a capacity of 1,650 students, and it serves a 16-19 age range. While the school does not provide a parent view recommendation percentage in its data, its popularity can be gauged by its size and the fact it operates as a dedicated sixth form centre, drawing students from across the local authority. The school is non-selective and mixed, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Martin Sullivan. For families considering post-16 options in the area, the college sits within a competitive landscape: the local authority has 17 schools of the same type, with only two rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Peter's Catholic School, 1.1 kilometres away, which gives context for parents weighing up their choices. The college's facilities are extensive, including a swimming pool, sports hall, theatre, and a dedicated sixth form centre, alongside a chapel and playing fields, suggesting a broad offer beyond the classroom.
