East Norfolk Sixth Form College (commonly abbreviated to EN) is a sixth form college in the Gorleston-on-Sea area of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The college ranges from about 1,600 students most of whom are between the ages of 16–18. These students enroll from areas across Norfolk and North Suffolk.
History[edit]
Opened in 1982 it uses the building of the former Alderman Leach Secondary Modern school to form part of its campus in the centre of Gorleston-on-Sea. The college offers 80 different subjects including A levels, BTEC, GCSE and a number of other pathways in further education. New pathways include T Levels and the Level 4 Foundation Degree programs and the Elite Football Program in conjunction with Norwich City CSF. The College is also one of only 25 FA Super Hubs and the only local provider with a Combined Cadet Force (CCF). It is also an approved centre for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
The college has undergone expansion and refurbishment in a number of areas and in 2021 is investing a further £3 million into the campus. This includes a state of the art 3G pitch, and investment in new classrooms and technology to support the delivery of the T Level program.
In 2023, the Norfolk Sixth Form ran a model of a wind turbine. The students were successful in their execution of the test of an offshore wind turbine.[1]
