KS5 Evening
This week we welcomed over 110 Year 12 students with their parent/s to post 16 studies. It was a very busy evening devoted to outlining to parents the expectations of Post 16 study as well as giving information and advice about the best way to be successful at KS5. I would like to thank everyone for their attendance and for the Post 16 tutor team for their continued support of the students
At Post 16 our stated aims are to support our students to achieve the best qualifications they can, offer a broad range of enrichment opportunities and to ensure that work experience is included.
Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award
Sam Sykes, DofE expeditions, came to the evening to outline to the students the opportunities and challenges of the gold award. He said that a recent survey of the top 100 employers ranked the following as the 3 most important qualities they look for in potential applicants:
1. Qualifications
2. Work Experience
3. Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award
It is good to know that our stated aims are mirrored by future employers and that we are right to focus on developing study skills as well as enrichment and work experience.
