Hundreds of people attended an open event at Telford College's new £9 million sixth form centre in the town centre.

Hundreds of people attended the first open event at Telford College's new £9 million sixth form centre, Telford 6th. The centre, based in the town centre's Station Quarter, opened to A level students last month and relocated the college's entire A level provision from its Wellington campus. The building, at the former Addenbrooke House, has undergone complete renovation.

Prospective students and families used the event to explore facilities including state-of-the-art science labs, a drama studio, library and arts studio, and to speak with staff. Clare Snik, vice principal at Telford 6th, said: 'There was a real sense of excitement about the new campus, and it was great to talk to young people about the opportunities available to them and the ambitions they have for their next steps.'

Telford 6th brings A level provision into the heart of the town for the first time. Telford MP Shaun Davies, who performed the building's official opening last month, said the centre was 'an investment in their future; giving them the opportunities and support they need to achieve their ambitions.'
