9 Haywood Sixth Form Academy
Now in its second year, it will be operating from a second heritage building in September 2016, with Burslem School of Art joining the Old Town Hall to form the Haywood Sixth Form Academy Burslem Campus.
In September 2016, following the completion of initial refurbishment work, the School of Art will be opening its doors again to approximately 170 Sixth Form students, who will be undertaking a raft of qualifications (such as A-levels, BTECS, and Level 2 Work-Based Learning), across a range of subjects including Art; Computer Science; Health & Social Care; and Psychology.
Students, local business and community partners, will be involved in designing and decorating some of the rooms that will be required later in the year, ensuring that it remains in use when school is out for the wider community.
The refurbished School of Art will have a restored Art Room; Photography Room; DT Workshop; Science Lab; IT Suite; Common Room; Study; Offices; Classrooms; and a Café.
Haywood Sixth Form Academy is working in partnership with SOT City Council on the regeneration project, and is working closely with Burslem School of Art Trust to ensure that the amenities and resources in the refurbished building will be made available for community use in the future.
We want everyone to know what is happening in Burslem . We seek to ensure good connectivity between all those people who live in, work in or visit Burslem to promote the economic, social and environmental well being of the town.
