Moving into the Sixth Form will be as significant a change as the one
you made when you joined your High School; then, you had to adjust to
learning eight or nine discrete subjects, now, you will be in charge of
your own learning in two or three chosen subject areas, and will be
given adult status within the Sixth Form Centre. |

|
We plan to organise 'induction days' before the end of your Year 11,
when there will be opportunities to familiarise yourself with what the
Sixth Form has to offer; these days will be significant in determining
your next two years, both socially and academically. |

Once
you have made up your mind to join the Sixth Form, the first object is
to fill in an application form indicating which subjects/courses you
wish to follow. This should not be as difficult a choice as it may seem
because by then you will have talked over your way forward with your
parents, teachers and careers advisers and will have a fair idea of what
will be open to you should you reach the necessary standards at GCSE.
You need not worry that your original plan will have to stand; changes
may be made, with guidance, right up to the day you start the term.
Following your GCSE results you will be able to arrange for an interview
with the Head of Sixth Form to review your programme of study should you
need to do so. |
