As part of their time in Sixth Form, it is important that students understand that they are signing up to take part in a wider programme beyond studying their subjects. Although we recognise that the pursuit of excellent grades in academic studies is vital, we believe that there is much in addition to be gained to make sure that the students are ready to take their place as active global citizens. As part of the enrichment offer at The Marsh Academy Sixth Form, all students will have access to a wide range of opportunities and support. Students can access individualised support through an excellent pastoral system which works with the individual to ensure that they can explore all opportunities, receive appropriate guidance on a wide range of topics from wellbeing to study skills and time keeping to future pathways. Students can access support through our ‘in house’ IT infrastructure too which contain information on topics such as: mental health, study skills, part time employment opportunities, latest research as well as future pathways in the forms of apprenticeships, university, or employment. Students will also attend one enrichment session each week where a wide range of topics will be studied, skills will be gained and debates, along with the necessary debating skills, will be explored. Through the enrichment activities, students will gain skills and develop a greater understanding of personal and professional development. The skills and knowledge gained will stand students in good stead whether they are heading to university, apprenticeships, or employment.
