Year 12 End of Term Update

Year 12 have had a busy but excellent term as they conclude the first year of their Key Stage 5 study.  Our new Student Leadership team have settled in brilliantly to their roles, attending training and managing a whole host of events, some new, that we have been able to enjoy together in school this term.  They have worked tirelessly, with the support of the wider Sixth Form community, to facilitate and assist at many of the experiences we have had. In addition, the whole of Year 12 has been looking at Post 18 options and beginning to explore pathways and identify their personal goals and ambitions for after school.  Senior staff enjoyed meeting 1:1 with all students in the early weeks of this term and hearing about the many different pathways our students are considering.  Students attended the UCAS Discovery exhibition in June, and many have since organised to visit university open days. There are also a significant number of students considering higher/degree level apprenticeships and we have welcomed a recent leaver into school to discuss this. The majority of Year 12 have also completed exciting work experience placements in recent weeks, and we have received glowing feedback from nearly all; commenting on our students’ ambition and commitment. We reach the summer break tired but excited for the future; this cohort of young people have so much promise and we are excited to see what they will achieve.  Thank you Year 12 for an excellent year, have a good summer and we look forward to welcoming you back as Year 13 after the break.
