The new-look Corby Sixth Form is in Chisholm House, Queens Square, Corby.

The 4,000 sq ft centre will comprise an impressive new entrance extension, more than 25 classrooms, state of the art science labs, resource centres and performance areas. The students will be able to enjoy an external roof terrace, and a modern café and common room areas.

The existing architectural design will embrace the current style of the building and is being designed to run as carbon neutral to the environment. The money for the refurbishment has come from the Corby Towns Fund, which is being run by North Northamptonshire Council. The Sixth Form, which will bring hundreds of students and staff into the town centre, was part of the original Towns Fund bid to central government.

TEACHING AND LEARNING SPACES

Our study facilities will help you make the most of your chosen subjects, including specialist Art & Design studios to hone your creativity, fully equipped laboratories to explore the sciences, plus access to a dance studio and theatre for drama and performance.

IT AND INTERNET ACCESS

We will have a host of modern PCs – all internet-enabled and running the latest software – plus 24/7 access to Moodle, our virtual learning environment. Free Wi-Fi will be available throughout the campus.

LEARNING RESOURCES CENTRE

Access to thousands of books, journals and a wide variety of electronic resources will be available to you in our Learning Resources Centre, where you can find quiet spaces for individual study and areas where you can study in groups.

SPACE TO SOCIALISE

At The Corby Sixth Form there will be a range of unique spaces for you and your friends to catch up and enjoy something to eat and drink. We will also have an on-site Munch & Mocha coffee shop where our students can enjoy hot and cold food and drink.
