Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesMany of our students organise work experience during Years 12 and 13. This may be career relevant, such as a placement in a hospital or can be giving something back to the community in general. A number of our students volunteer at Saxon Hill Community School.
Throughout the year, students attend regular assemblies and tutor periods. During this time with their tutor, students follow an extensive pastoral programme designed to support their learning and develop their social awareness. We also have a number of visiting speakers who give their personal experience of events, as well as promoting activities, in which the Sixth Form can become involved.
Sixth Form students have the opportunity to be mentors for younger students. The first year of secondary school is very important for the successful transition of students into Year 7. Sixth Form students are trained to be mentors to support students during this time and make their transition as smooth as possible.
