On Tuesday, our Year 11 students had the exciting opportunity to experience life as a Sixth Former for the day. Selecting four subjects to try out, alongside a private study period, students gained first hand insights into what it’s like to be a part of our Sixth Form. 

It was fantastic to see their enthusiasm as they engaged in a variety of lessons, exploring opportunities and independence in their study programme. Students took advantage of sampling subjects not offered at GCSE level, such as Psychology, Criminology and Government & Politics.  

Year 11s loved wearing their own clothes for the day and hanging out in our Sixth Form Centre, which gave them a glimpse into the supportive and dynamic environment that awaits them. 

Students wanting to join our Sixth Form can submit their application now. 

Remember to submit your application before Monday 6th January 2025 as this will allow you to choose any three courses and our team will build the timetable around your studies! Students applying after this date will have to choose their subjects from the set option boxes.
