A resounding success for college launch

A resounding success for college launch. Enterprise South Liverpool Academy (ESLA) have launched their exciting new Sixth Form College which will open its doors in South Liverpool this September, offering a rich, innovative curriculum and state of the art facilities to students from across Liverpool, Merseyside and beyond.
With queues out of the door, 178 families joined them to take an early glance into this unique offer for students post 16.
The all new All Saints Sixth Form College, a collaboration between ESLA and The Academy of St Francis of Assisi which are both part of The Liverpool Joint Catholic and Church of England Academies Trust will be a bespoke separate facility based on the current ESLA campus.
A holistic approach to the development of young people will be at the heart of All Saints Sixth Form College and students will benefit from the academy’s state of the art £26 million building with facilities including modern ICT rooms, ‘breakout’ spaces for independent learning and eight acres of outdoor space.
ESLA is to be renamed The Academy of St Nicholas from September 2017.
This represents the Trust’s unique joint faith, Christian ethos. The executive headteacher of the Trust Mrs Anne Pontifex, said: “The change of name for ESLA and the introduction of All Saints Sixth Form College is great news for the region. The all new, innovative Sixth Form will focus on quality post-16 education in a caring and nurturing environment. Different routes to further education and employment will be available for students as well a varied enrichment programme dedicated to developing personal and social skills needed for the world of work.
“All Saints Sixth Form College will have strong community, education and business links which will allow students to prosper and achieve their aspirations. As part of The Liverpool Joint Catholic and Church of England Academies Trust, the new Sixth Form College will significantly enhance the educational opportunities for young people.”
