Tollbar became an academy in September 2010. With an
‘outstanding’ Ofsted inspection in 25 out of 26 categories it
was fast-tracked to become an academy as part of the
Government’s new policy.
Tollbar Academy sixth form is committed to providing
students with an education that enables them to compete with
the world’s best. Now studying the International Baccalaureate
Diploma Programme, sixth formers enjoy an independent
learning experience that promotes social awareness and gives
them the skills and confidence to compete.
Students come to Tollbar to study in a purposeful but
relaxed environment. They enjoy unrivalled facilities in stateof-the-art
surroundings, which are affiliated to north-east
Lincolnshire’s largest and most successful academy.
Tollbar Academy sixth form offers an exciting and very creative
climate for learning, and prepares its students for active, local,
national and global citizenship. The richness of the IB Diploma
Programme promotes international understanding and
prepares students for university life and/or the world of work far
better than any other currently available education.
Curriculum
We are able to offer a wide range of subjects from each
group of the IB diploma.

Sixth Form Facilities
The sixth form campus is completely independent from the
main academy areas and offers superb facilities.
It consists of 30 designated classrooms including:
• four fully-equipped science labs with data-logging
facilities;
• ten rooms with full computer capability;
• three Divace Language labs;
• a large, purpose-built art studio and photography suite
plus high-specification sewing machines; and
• access to a state-of-the-art gymnasium.
The study area contains a further 20 networked computers
specifically for your use, which, along with the social areas, is
wi-fi enabled.
The social areas also have a large, wall-mounted plasma
screen, CD player and two pool tables, a football table, and
vending machines for snacks and drinks. Café Express, open
from 8am till 3pm, provides snacks, main meals and drinks in
a pleasant, adult environment.
Further expansion took place in September 2009 with the
addition of a new block of ten classrooms together with office
and meeting rooms.
