Barrow Sixth Form College, no longer considered a sixth form college, is part of Furness College, and is in the outskirts of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. Barrow Sixth Form College was established in 1979 to fulfil the role of the main A level provider in Barrow following the merger of the two Barrow Grammar Schools and their change to deliver education to only 11 to 16 year-olds. It was the only sixth form college in Cumbria before the removal of the Barrow Sixth Form College name in 2024. There are now no sixth form colleges in Cumbria.
In 2024, the Furness College leadership team permanently removed the name of 'Barrow Sixth Form College', in place since 1979, and replaced it with ‘the sixth form’. This marks the end of the only sixth form college in Cumbria.
