The Sixth Form Taster Day is always an exciting and eagerly anticipated event for our Fifth Form pupils, as they are given the opportunity to sample the Sixth Form experience. Pupils choose four full-length Sixth Form taster lessons they would like to attend; for many this was a chance to try subjects that they have yet to study (for example, Psychology and Philosophy).
In addition, they enjoyed various enrichment elements: a wonderful lecture given by Alex Hibbert, Polar Explorer, about an unexpected winter in Greenland; a ‘life’s meandering river’ workshop (led by Mrs Orton, Mr Gale and Mr Tolputt); and a carousel of skills workshops, including ‘Cookery’ with Head Chef, Mr Stone, ‘Public-Speaking’ with Mr Walwyn, and ‘Podcasting’ with Mrs Ryan. An enjoyable, challenging and illuminating day was had by all which will hopefully have helped them to make their important upcoming decisions regarding A Level choices.
