Tabor Academy

Being a Sixth Form student is an exciting period of your life. The journey will be exhilarating and challenging. You will be expected to work independently and keep to deadlines as well as enhance your employability and likelihood of being accepted into a university. Year 12 and 13 are two of the most demanding years of education you will ever experience, but they lead to much greater opportunities and prospects. You will need to develop excellent organisational skills and resilience. The sixth form team are here to help guide you on your path and support you in making choices for your future.We have high expectations of attendance and punctuality. You are expected to maintain attendance of at least 95% and, as role models to the younger year groups in the academy, match exceptional attendance with punctuality. We will do all we can to support you in your success. The same can be said of your standard of dress and work ethic. Deadlines are there for a reason and we will monitor your ability to meet these deadlines.You need to know your grades and be in constant discussion with your teacher to know how to make the necessary improvements. Unlike at GCSE, there is a much greater emphasis on independent study in non-timetabled study sessions and self-motivation in sixth form. We will support you in this through the enrichment programme and our ‘A level mindset’ sessions. These are essential life-skills that will better prepare you for both university and the world of work.
