Tucked away in the London Borough of Waltham Forest sits Leyton Sixth Form College. Don’t let its unassuming location fool you. Leyton Sixth Form College boasts a rich history dating back to its early days as Leyton County High School for Boys. Founded in 1916, the school served as a beacon of education for young men. It even received a royal visit from the Prince of Wales himself for the opening of its Essex Road location in 1929. Leyton Sixth Form College wasn’t always the inclusive institution it is today. It wasn’t until 1968, when Waltham Forest embraced the comprehensive system, that the school, then known as Leyton Senior High School for Boys, began accepting students of all abilities. A major shift took place in 1985 when a borough-wide reorganization led to the school’s transformation into the co-educational sixth form college we know and love: Leyton Sixth Form College. The college has seen its share of growth and modernization. A £40 million building project brought a brand-new theatre, a state-of-the-art television studio, and a street linking all the institution’s buildings. Leyton Sixth Form College has even earned prestigious accolades, including the Investors in People Gold Award, held by a mere 1% of UK corporations. This is a testament to its commitment to excellence in education. And, as a testament to its well-rounded approach to education, it holds its own operating warrant for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award project. Leyton Sixth Form College is more than just an educational institution. It’s a place where history, progress, and a commitment to nurturing young minds intersect.
