Important Information About Course Availability

Please note that all courses are subject to sufficient student interest and viable class sizes. To help us plan our curriculum, students should indicate that Coloma is their first-choice Sixth Form and communicate their preferred subject choices as early as possible.

As student choices and course demand can change, our final option blocks will be confirmed on GCSE Results Day. This allows us to respond to student demand and ensure that as many subjects as possible can be offered.

While we make every effort to provide the courses advertised, we cannot guarantee that every subject will run.

Your Sixth Form journey starts with the right choices. At Coloma, we look forward to helping you turn your ambitions into achievements
