Bramcote College Sixth Form

Alderman White under the White Hills Park Federation is running post-14 and post-16 provision from the former

site for the federated schools, under the name of "Bramcote College Sixth Form" . In 2009, a glossy prospectus was launched for the 2010 intake with new branding seen in the logo. The abbreviation shown in the logo for Bramcote Hills College Sixth Form reads BC6F, reflecting the title of Bramcote College Sixth Form by which the staff, parents and local community have known the college for many years. The Federation chose the accompanying text of Bramcote Hills College Sixth Form to maintain the Bramcote Hills identity of the site. This was not an oversight in the rebranding process as has been suggested. The college has since been rebranded, dropping the word hills from its name. There are no questions regarding the sustainability of the provision provided at the Bramcote Hills site, with remedial work now completed the remaining buildings can be used for the foreseeable future.Kevin Dean - former executive head, White Hills Park Federation
