The future Sixth Form students
This is a momentous moment for the school.
I have in front of me the list of the students who will form the new Sixth Form. I am getting to know these names (and students) very well and am beginning to remember individual course choices! Mr Rushworth, the Deputy Head, is already creating the timetable for next year. We are aiming to ensure that course combinations are considered for each individual student and we are in contact with students whose options need further discussion.
Our aim throughout this entire process is to ensure that the school advises each student individually and supports students in making the right choices and decisions for them. We have had a signifcant number of applications and each student is considered and processed individually.
Offers of places in the Sixth Form
I am in the process of writing to students with the outcome of their application and this should be completed over the next two weeks, as I am still interviewing the last few students.
Offers of places will be dependent on GCSE grades and will be finalised on results day. I need to state publically on this blog that we have had more applications than we are able to offer places. The consequence of this is that we have had to make some very tough decisions. None of these decisions have been made lightly and throughout I have considered and balanced what is in the best interests of each applicant and what we can best provide for the majority of students.
GCSE Results Day - Thursday 25th August 2011
I would like all applicants to note that I will be running a clinic on this day, from 10 am until 2 pm. Any student / parent who would like to discuss results and options are very welcome to come and see me during this time for advice / guidance
NEW FILM
The most recent addition to the filmic updates of the progress of the build is now on the website. Once again, my thanks to the efficient and talented Mr McCarey for his expertise in this area. I hope that this video gives you a picture of the interior and size of this impressive area.
The next video instalment will be teachers who have requested to see the inside of the build.
Sorry,
ReplyDeleteWas not quite sure where I am suppose to post this so I thought here would be best.
The induction day, what will happen and what are we supposed to wear?
Thankyou
In the offer letter I have requested students to wear their own 'smart casual' clohtes. Day 1 of the induction I am keeping as a surprise. day 2 will be an opportunity to have your first 'taster' lesson in your chosen subjects. This will be an introduction to the course, the teachers and the expectations! Hope that helps.
