In an ever competitive University and employment market it is imperative that our Sixth Form students have the edge on their competitors. They should have plenty to say about how they have developed themselves outside of the classroom when it comes to applying to universities and employers.
As a student in Sixth Form you will be encouraged to take advantage of a range of opportunities that enhance your studies and Sixth Form experience. We have developed an interesting, varied and worthwhile enrichment programme that we expect all students to take part in.
Year 12 – Wednesday Afternoon Enrichment
On Wednesday afternoons students have time built into the timetable to take part in a range of workshops and talks. This ranges from talks from industry professionals to driver awareness, library visits to gap year presentations. Please keep an eye on this timetable to see what opportunities are available throughout the year.
Year 13 can also take part in these opportunities, however, they must speak to their teacher if they are attending a presentation during lesson time. It is at the teacher’s discretion as to whether they can be excused for the hour.
Reading Ambassador Programme
Students in Year 12 have the opportunity to sign up to the Reading Ambassador programme. This programme pairs our Year 12 students with students in Year 9 so that they can develop their fluency when reading a range of texts.
Extra Curricular
Many of our Sixth Form students take the lead on extra-curricular clubs across the school. Furthermore, a range of extra-curricular opportunities are available to students both during school day and after school hours. Below are a number of opportunities that are available to our students.
