Post-16 Pathway National Teaching Award
( Published: 20/06/2025)
As a founding member of the Manchester Post-16 Pathway Partnership, Whalley Range Sixth Form College is delighted to have been awarded the Silver Category Award in the Pearson National Teaching Awards.
The partnership was set up in 2022 to improve the post-16 education sector in the city through an approach that has a focus on ensuring equitable access, increasing provision, and aligning opportunities with Manchester’s economic growth sectors.
Since it was established there have been tangible improvements, including over 1000 additional post-16 places, enhanced curriculum offerings, sector-specific training, and more young people supported into education, employment or training.
The voice of young people themselves plays a key part in the partnership through the Post-16 Youth Board, which helps directly in shaping the partnership, influencing the education provision, and helping ensure better connections between education and employment.
It’s brilliant to see Manchester’s Post-16 Pathway Partnership achieve national recognition for our ambitious and coordinated approach to improving outcomes for young people.
