Fifth Form pupils were given the opportunity to sample the Sixth Form experience at the Sixth Form Taster Day. Pupils attended four full-length Sixth Form taster lessons (which they had chosen in advance); for many, this was a chance to try subjects that they have yet to study, such as Psychology and Philosophy.
In addition, pupils 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 (featuring Mrs Orton and Mrs Cooper); and a carousel of life skills workshops, including ‘How to Cook’, ‘How to Buy a House’ and ‘How to Manage Difficult Conversations’. An enjoyable, challenging, and illuminating day was had by all and a chance for our Fifth Form to think about their next steps as the prospect of Sixth Form draws ever closer.
