Your Future Your Time: Year 12 Transition Day

All Offer-holders were invited to attend our Transition Day on Friday 5 July 2024, which included a series of workshops and an interactive group activity. Students heard from inspirational guest speakers from the Psychology, Marketing, Real Estate and Criminal Justice sectors. There was also the opportunity for all students to network with key staff and students.

Enrolment for September 2024: Thursday 22 August 2024

Enrolment for Sixth Form courses will be open from 08.30 to 15.00 (Palmers Green Campus hall)

The day will be staffed by colleagues experienced in advising students on the next steps in their academic career and they are on-hand to give guidance whatever the outcome of your daughter’s GCSEs.

Making the right choice

We are delighted to be welcoming prospective Year 12 Girls & Boys for September 2024, and look forward to supporting each student individually in their KS5 journey.

When choosing your programme of study, you should consider suitable combinations of courses. You will be choosing 3 subjects to study at A’ level or BTEC Level 3 and your choices can be exclusively A’ Level or BTEC, or a combination of the 2 courses, depending on your subject preferences and whether you achieve the entry criteria for each course.

The subjects that you choose are two-year courses and cannot be terminated at any point before the completion of the course.

There are some combinations of subjects which are preferred or required by Universities as enrolment criteria for Degree courses. Examples of this are:

  • CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY (REQUIRED) AND MATHS TO STUDY MEDICINE.
  • ART AND/OR A DESIGN TECHNOLOGY (REQUIRED): E.G. FASHION AND CLOTHING AND ENGLISH LITERATURE TO STUDY AN ART DEGREE OR A COURSE SUCH AS FASHION JOURNALISM.

In addition to subject choices, students have the opportunity to take on an additional course in Core Maths (AS equivalent) or the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) which is also equal to an AS grade and great alongside all Level 3 Subjects.

Many students may not be certain of their final career pathway when choosing subjects to study in the 6th form and in this situation, it makes good sense to choose subjects that you are good at; that you enjoy and that will provide you with a broad range of knowledge and skills. As part of the Sixth Form Curriculum all students also attend a Masterclass and Core RE lesson per week.

Sixth Form students have opportunities to take part in super curricular activities and community work for example being a member of the Community Outreach Team, Liturgy Team, teaching IT skills to older people as well as opportunities to attend Subject specific workshops, taster days and lectures, as well as competitions as part of our Super-Curricular offer.
