Whether you still think of us as The Ridge, or even The Willows, Marple Sixth Form College has been at the heart of the local community for over 80 years.
Throughout this time we have upheld a tradition of high academic standards, excellent student guidance and an inclusive approach to learning which helps prepare young people for the next stage of their lives.
For the vast majority of our students this means progressing to university – and many have gone on to study at Oxford, Cambridge or Russell Group institutions. For others a more vocational route may be preferred – which is why we also offer an exciting and diverse programme of courses and extra-curricular activities linked to business, careers and enterprise.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive college where all students are treated equally and with respect. Click "more" to view or download our college prospectus.
Marple Sixth Form College is part of The C & M College Network, a partnership between two respected and well established sixth form colleges that has served the Stockport area for over fifty years.
For the last ten years we have operated as a combined institution, Cheadle and Marple Sixth Form College, but from September 2014 both The Cheadle College and Marple Sixth Form College will become more independent.
But as part of the new C&M College Network both colleges will share a board of governors and joint senior management team and both institutions will continue to learn from each other, share best practice and benefit from economies of scale in their operation.
