Cirencester College is one of only three specialist Sixth Form Colleges in the South West. We provide a tremendous subject choice, a supportive and ambitious pastoral system and great teaching. The College offers an adult ethos with the feel of a University, ensuring that students achieve their full potential.
The College’s facilities have benefitted from significant investment in the last five years resulting in a brand new Digital Building, specialist T-level classrooms including Hospital Ward and Engineering suits and Sports Hall, Animal Centre and state of the art classrooms. The extensive enrichment programme with over 100 different activities offers all students the opportunity to broaden their horizons.
