Work experience
All students in year 12 complete 5 days (minimum) of valuable work experience.
Students are expected to apply for this themselves, but are supported by the sixth form team in finding and securing a meaningful work experience placement.
We know the specifics of our students’ career aspirations and signpost them to a range of fantastic opportunities to help them achieve those aspirations.
University and Apprenticeships
Students receive bespoke one-to-one and targeted group support in preparing their applications for university and apprenticeships.
In 2022, 35% of our students who are going to university, are attending Russell Group Universities. Most importantly though, we ensure they are pursuing their passion.
In 2022, our students went off to a range of fantastic universities and apprenticeship providers including:
- Oxford to study chemistry
