Introducing Your New-Look Cafe6!

This week, we were delighted to unveil our brand new Cafe6 area. Exclusively used by our sixth form students, Cafe6 provides a dining, relaxation and study space for Year 12 and 13 students to enjoy as part of their sixth form experience here at The Hinckley Sixth Form.

The re-development of this area focussed on creating a space which emulated the feel of a university dining and study space, with distinct zones. The first part of the new café now allows students to utilise this space more effectively during their study and free periods thanks to nine brand-new banquet-style tables and three movable collaboration tables with plug and USB power ports, allowing our students to easily utilise laptops and IT facilities as part of their study. Two large flat screen TVs now framed by modern oak look panelling, will also allow the space to be used for seminars and events.  Meanwhile, the other side of Cafe6 now features a dining zone, complete with mature coffee shop styling thanks to textured faux boxwood panelling, a neon sign and sofas - giving students the perfect space to catch up with friends and meet with staff. 

Student voice was at the heart of this project, with their ideas, such as framed artwork featuring photos of the Hinckley area, all being brought to life in this new design. Feedback from our students so far has been incredible. They have shared how impressed they are with this newly refurbished facility and how amazed they are with how different it not only looks but feels.

We look forward to welcoming many more students and their families to see Cafe6 in person over the coming weeks and months, so that our community can see for themselves the investment we have made in our young people and their sixth form experience.
