, Principal, Wilberforce Sixth Form College
A word from our Principal, Colin
Wilberforce College has been a prominent establishment in the Hull community since 1988. We have grown year on year and currently serve around 1,350 students from East Hull, West Hull and the East Riding villages.
We offer all the specialisms of a sixth form college, delivering exclusively to 16-19 years olds, but have a broad curriculum that includes A Level, T Level, BTEC, UAL and City & Guilds qualifications. Our Level 3 Advanced qualifications are particularly successful and we continuously see our students progress to some of the best universities and careers.
The College’s support services are outstanding and complement students’ learning to ensure that they have the best chance of success and their experience with us extends beyond the classroom.
We continue to make significant investment in the College’s facilities, staff and students, ensuring that we remain the first choice for students, both now and in future years.

WHEN IN ROME 🏛
Week one did not disappoint.....
Our students have explored some of Italy’s most iconic destinations. From the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon, to the stunning Siena Cathedral and Piazza del Campo, and the breathtaking views from Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence. 📸
One of the biggest highlights has been visiting our partner school, Liceo Vittoria Colonna in Arezzo. Reconnecting with the Italian students, sharing cultures, learning new phrases and making real friendships along the way.
Alongside this, they’ve been living the full Italian experience enjoying local food, retail therapy and even visiting unique spots like a cat café. 🐈🛍️
This could be you next year… 🌍

CREATIVE MEDIA ALUMNI – Liam Jackson’s Journey
After achieving an A in A-Level Art, A in A-Level Art Media Studies and A in A-Level Art Film Studies at Wilberforce, Liam is now halfway through a Digital Content Creator apprenticeship at Hull City Council, gaining hands-on experience across a range of exciting projects and events.
“I loved my time at Wilberforce. I was able to explore my different interests across my subjects and really understand my strengths and where I wanted to go with them. The careers team and my teachers were great in helping me gain valuable industry experience and develop the skills I needed to move forward.”
During their apprenticeship, Liam has already worked on major events including the Hull KR treble celebration, the Christmas Light Switch On and the Our City event, as well as interviewing a range of inspiring individuals from TV personalities to artists and international leaders in the cultural sector.
After leaving college, they were focused on securing an apprenticeship. Although they didn’t have one immediately, they used the summer to build a freelance portfolio, securing their current role just before results day and starting in September.
Now, they’re continuing to develop their skills within the digital team and are aiming to secure a permanent role at Hull City Council once their apprenticeship comes to an end.

Sammi Iverson
PAST BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS & GEOGRAPHY STUDENT
Sammi, formerly of Withernsea High School, has gone onto achieve great success pursuing her ambition of a career within the scientific industry. After studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography with Wilberforce, Sammi continued her educational journey at the University of Hull studying for a degree in Biomedical Science – much to the joy of her former Biology teacher Martin who she is still fondly remembered by! Sammi’s positive outlook and cheery demeanour as a Wilberforce student was equal to her hard work and commitment to her studies, so it is no surprise she committed herself to completing her doctorate in Medical Microbiology at Hull York Medical School. Using this impressive track record of excellence in research, she secured an R&D post at Reckitt, quickly transferring to her current role as a medical writer for Reckitt’s Global Affairs Division, seeing her travel the world using her passion for science communication and expertise to advise and educate consumers and fellow researchers in this global medical giant. Sammi has shone brightly since her days at Wilberforce and we are so proud of her achievements which we were delighted to celebrate during our recent Achievement Awards Evening.

WHEN IN ROME 🏛
Week one did not disappoint.....
Our students have explored some of Italy’s most iconic destinations. From the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon, to the stunning Siena Cathedral and Piazza del Campo, and the breathtaking views from Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence. 📸
One of the biggest highlights has been visiting our partner school, Liceo Vittoria Colonna in Arezzo. Reconnecting with the Italian students, sharing cultures, learning new phrases and making real friendships along the way.
Alongside this, they’ve been living the full Italian experience enjoying local food, retail therapy and even visiting unique spots like a cat café. 🐈🛍️
This could be you next year… 🌍

CREATIVE MEDIA ALUMNI – Liam Jackson’s Journey
After achieving an A in A-Level Art, A in A-Level Art Media Studies and A in A-Level Art Film Studies at Wilberforce, Liam is now halfway through a Digital Content Creator apprenticeship at Hull City Council, gaining hands-on experience across a range of exciting projects and events.
“I loved my time at Wilberforce. I was able to explore my different interests across my subjects and really understand my strengths and where I wanted to go with them. The careers team and my teachers were great in helping me gain valuable industry experience and develop the skills I needed to move forward.”
During their apprenticeship, Liam has already worked on major events including the Hull KR treble celebration, the Christmas Light Switch On and the Our City event, as well as interviewing a range of inspiring individuals from TV personalities to artists and international leaders in the cultural sector.
After leaving college, they were focused on securing an apprenticeship. Although they didn’t have one immediately, they used the summer to build a freelance portfolio, securing their current role just before results day and starting in September.
Now, they’re continuing to develop their skills within the digital team and are aiming to secure a permanent role at Hull City Council once their apprenticeship comes to an end.

Sammi Iverson
PAST BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS & GEOGRAPHY STUDENT
Sammi, formerly of Withernsea High School, has gone onto achieve great success pursuing her ambition of a career within the scientific industry. After studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography with Wilberforce, Sammi continued her educational journey at the University of Hull studying for a degree in Biomedical Science – much to the joy of her former Biology teacher Martin who she is still fondly remembered by! Sammi’s positive outlook and cheery demeanour as a Wilberforce student was equal to her hard work and commitment to her studies, so it is no surprise she committed herself to completing her doctorate in Medical Microbiology at Hull York Medical School. Using this impressive track record of excellence in research, she secured an R&D post at Reckitt, quickly transferring to her current role as a medical writer for Reckitt’s Global Affairs Division, seeing her travel the world using her passion for science communication and expertise to advise and educate consumers and fellow researchers in this global medical giant. Sammi has shone brightly since her days at Wilberforce and we are so proud of her achievements which we were delighted to celebrate during our recent Achievement Awards Evening.
