Welcome to Chilwell School
Welcome from Our Head of Sixth FormAs you embark on your Post-16 journey, this is an exciting time in your life—where you start narrowing your focus, gaining more independence, and exploring what you truly want to achieve in the world. My vision as Head of Sixth Form is to create an environment where you can thrive, grow, and become the best version of yourself. At Lakeview Sixth Form, we work together to turn this vision into a reality.The Lakeview building itself is a dynamic and vibrant learning space, offering you ample opportunities to study, socialise, and connect with your peers and the sixth form team. This environment is designed to foster both academic success and personal growth. It’s a place where you can find the support you need and take ownership of your learning journey.One of the things that sets Lakeview apart is our exceptional team of dedicated professionals. From high-quality teaching to pastoral care and career guidance, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals. We believe that a strong, supportive team is key to ensuring you have the best possible experience during your time with us.In addition to your academic studies, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities that will help you develop as a well-rounded, balanced, and future-ready individual. My ambition is that, when you leave Lakeview Sixth Form, you will have developed a unique personal brand—something that sets you apart and reflects your experiences, achievements, and passions.I look forward to meeting each of you personally, and I am excited for what lies ahead. The next two years will be both challenging and rewarding, and we will be here to support you every step of the way. I hope this handbook helps you understand how we work and what you can expect from us during your time here.Yours sincerely,Jason NicholsHead of Sixth Form
