New sixth form to open at ‘outstanding’ TIBHS
TIBHS is set to launch a state-of-the art sixth form to provide an unparalleled learning experience for local students.
The top-performing Blackburn school will be opening its new sixth form ‘TB6’ in September 2022.
TB6 will build on the school’s existing strong academic record, judged to be ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, and will provide students with a well-rounded educational experience based on the school’s existing leadership specialism and Islamic faith ethos.
In its first year, TB6 will offer core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) related subjects, including A levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and Mathematics as well as a vocational qualification in BTEC Applied Science. Students will also have the opportunity to study AS levels in Core Mathematics and Modern Foreign Languages. The school intends to extend the range of subjects on offer in future years as it looks to expand its provision to even more sixth form students over a number of years.
Students attending TB6 will be supported to fulfil their career goals and aspirations through personalised learning and progression pathways, participate in specialist programmes to prepare for entry into elite universities and apprenticeship schemes, and benefit from a leading careers programme.
Alongside the sixth form’s academic offer, students will also take part in programmes designed to develop their character, including charitable and fundraising activities, an opportunity to experience international travel and tailored mentoring programmes supported by industry leaders.
TB6 will open at the school’s modern, purpose-built campus on Sumner Street, which opened in 2019. Sixth form students will have exclusive access to dedicated classrooms, a private study space and the TB6 lounge, as well as benefitting from the school’s state-of-the-art learning and sports facilities.
Majid Ditta, Principal at TIBHS, said that he was thoroughly delighted to be launching the sixth form, which he hopes will enable generations of young men to achieve their career aspirations.
He said: “Our school has a long tradition of supporting pupils to achieve excellent and well-deserved outcomes.
“The launch of our new sixth form, TB6, is a natural progression in our school’s offer to our learners and one which will lead to even better Key Stage 5 outcomes and greater opportunities for our students. We have the benefit of the excellent practice from our sister school, Tauheedul Islam Girls’ High School and Sixth Form to build from, who have over the years offered a world class sixth form provision to their learners, achieving phenomenal results.
“TB6 will enable us to support our existing pupils and other young men from the local community to secure the grades they need at A level and BTec to take their chosen next steps, in addition to developing the skills and leadership qualities to set them apart from the competition when applying for university and career opportunities.
“We will provide tailored support to a small cohort, creating a family feel, where learning and career pathways can be personalised to support each learner to fulfil their potential and achieve their ambitions.
“At TIBHS, we have unparalleled integrity, loyalty and compassion towards our young men. Thanks to the commitment and dedication of our incredible staff and the backing of our supportive parents, we can ensure that future generations of learners experience the very best education possible. We look forward to welcoming our inaugural sixth form cohort to TB6 in September 2022.”
The school will be holding an open day from 4.00 – 6.30pm on Wednesday 3 November when students and their families will have the opportunity to visit TB6 for the first time and meet the school’s leaders and teaching staff. Prospective students are asked to register their interest at www.TB6.co.uk.
TIBHS welcomes applications from pupils of all faiths and those of no faith to the school.
