St Brendan's Sixth Form College

About St Brendan's Sixth Form College

St Brendan's Sixth Form College is a large Roman Catholic state sixth form in Bristol, City of, serving 770 students in the 16-19 age range against a school capacity of 1,658, meaning it is operating at less than half its total capacity. This is a significant signal for parents: the college is not oversubscribed, and there is ample room for new applicants. For context, the proportion of students eligible for free school meals at St Brendan's is not provided in the data, but the local authority average for secondary schools in Bristol is 0, so direct comparison is not possible here. The college is mixed and led by headteacher Marian Curran. Its religious character as Roman Catholic may appeal to families seeking a faith-based environment for post-16 study, though the data does not specify any admissions criteria tied to faith. With a capacity that far exceeds current pupil numbers, the college appears to be a less competitive option in the Bristol sixth form landscape, which could be a practical choice for students who want a guaranteed place without the pressure of selective entry.
