Hide AdCoun Megan Swift (Lab, Town), has previously said a sixth form college would fill a gap in the borough’s current education provision, providing a new offer of post-16 education for Calderdale’s young people.
The sixth form centre was expected be open to students by autumn 2019. This will help to meet the Council’s need to find an additional 675 secondary school place.
