Post-16 Choices

Year 10 students took part in a Post-16 Choices day on Thursday 7th July, which aimed to encourage them to think about their choices when they finish Year 11. Although this may seem a little premature, in reality, students will have to start making applications to their chosen colleges / apprenticeships during the Autumn term.

Throughout the day students took part in the following:

Assemblies from –

Other sessions included:

  • A subject fair run by our current Year 12 students to explore A’ Level courses
  • A session on apprenticeships, what they are and how to find them
  • A mock interview with one of the 40 employers (most of whom are current parents) who kindly volunteered and gave up their time to support the event.

The feedback from students was incredibly positive and we hope this has encouraged them to think about the variety of options they have available to them. The following websites are well worth looking at, with your child, should you wish to find out more:

Dear Parent or Carer,

We are sorry we have not sent you final instructions about the Qualifying expeditions yet. This is because nearly half of students have not completed the Microsoft Form sent to them on email which we need to be able to work out start points for the various walking groups. Tutors have been chasing students but please can we ask for your support in making sure your child has completed this by the end of today. The form can be accessed again here.

Thank you.

School Gateway

Dear Parent or Carer,

As a parent, you will now be able to access the School Gateway app. The gateway app is one of our main methods of communication: it allows you to see your child’s timetable and their achievement and behaviour points. Any letters that are sent out are also sent out using the app. For more information on how to download the app and create an account please visit the Parents section of the school website.

Finally, if for any reason, you are considering not taking up the place you have been offered, we would be very grateful if you could let both the Local Authority Admissions Team and us know as soon as possible. We have a long list of families who were very disappointed not to gain a place for September and, on their behalf, we would really appreciate being able to let them know if a place does become available.

Yours faithfully

Miss Natassia Beck

Head of Year 7
