The role of the tutor in Student Guidance is at its most critical in the Sixth Form, and we are lucky to have such an experienced team and such small pastoral groups. This policy ensures a very high level of individual attention for each student.
For the Lower Sixth Student the process of HE Guidance begins very gently by the observation of the Upper Sixth tutees going through the UCAS, GAP or Job-search process.
A highly flexible Work-Experience programme is available to all Sixth Form Students.
After Christmas a formal induction to Higher Education takes place. The H.E. programme includes an information evening for parents. Each student is issued with an information booklet and worksheets to complete. Letters explaining the HE process are sent to parents.
Subject-specific and career-specific Sixth Form Careers Conferences are advertised regularly.
Up to 10 University Open Day visits are arranged. Students considering Higher Education are strongly urged to view potential institutions.
Towards the end of the academic year the Lower Sixth are introduced to APPLY and are encouraged to research various courses or other options that appeal to them.
During the Summer Vacation, a post A' Level Clinic is available to offer advice to those A level candidates who have just received results.
