Step Up to Sixth Form Event
On Monday 22nd June we welcomed our Year 11s back into school to experience their first day as a Sixth Form student. They attended sessions in their chosen A Level subjects, which were led by the Curriculum Area Leaders and Year 12 students currently taking the course. In addition to this, Year 12 students led team building activities and a study skills session to enable the Year 11s to 'Step Up' to meet the expectations of Sixth Form. Our Head Students led an assembly, and Priscilla and Nifemi performed a dance to end the day. Staff and student feedback has been incredibly positive, saying how mature and inquisitive the Year 11 students were in the sessions, and the Year 11 students have started to leave feedback for the helpers in Year 12, and the staff involved.
Feedback from Year 11 to our Year 12 students and staff:
