A message from the Director of Post-16 Learning:
As we approach the end of a busy academic year and reflect on
the
progress of planning the new sixth form, I am delighted by the
clear
interest shown by many of our students and parents for this
exciting new
development for school. Recent events such as the open evening,
the one-
to-one career and post 16 choice interviews and A level taster
days have
added to the overall picture. In addition, the new sixth form
prospectus
outlines what to expect in the sixth form both academically and
beyond
the classroom and as a result, there is an extremely positive
feel about thesixth form through the whole school community.
Our year 10 students are now completing their work experience
and they will return in September as year
11s, ready to face one of the most important years in their
school career. The new school year promises a
busy first term with our second open evening focusing on life in
the sixth form and a full A level taster day
on 8thOctober followed by career and subject choice interviews.
We hope all our students will be able to
make informed decisions on their post 16 education based on the
advice and guidance that Christ's has
given, coupled with their own research into future
possibilities. Applications to Christ's Sixth Form are now
open and can be accessed via the sixth form section of the
website under admissions. Matt Morris
An informative first Open Evening for Christ's Sixth Form
Our first sixth form open evening was a great success. Parents
had the opportunity to discuss sixth form
subjects with subject staff and talk to the panel of four
experts to get guidance on how to choose the right A
levels, university applications, Cambridge and Oxford advice and
career pathways. Our new head boy, Will
Imber-Coxhead, and new head girl, Hanna Stephenson, spoke about
the growing interest in the new sixth
form and students enthusiasm for the plans. Parents who attended
were given both the new sixth form
prospectus and course directory. The course directory includes
all relevant information about each subject
we are offering in the sixth form.An electronic version of
thesixth form prospectus and the course directory are also
available on the website. Hard copies can be obtained from
school.
The feedback on the evening from both parents and students
was very positive. In particular, many of those who attended
felt they had got very useful advice and guidance that will
inform post 16 subject choices.
Our next event on OCTOBER 8th willfocus on sixth form
life, enrichment opportunities, building updates and
devopments and there will be another chance to discuss
courses with subject staff. More details will follow in
September.
