Y11 to Y12 Enrichment…Set Your Own Path

Set Your Own Path – the main areas of the Programme are detailed below:

• A structured timetable of workshops, delivered face-to-face in school,  covering every qualification offered in The Sixth Form at The Grove.
• Specific Enrichment Programme to help develop key knowledge and understanding for studying A-level/Level 3 courses.
• The chance to access early support and guidance on careers and future Pathways.
• Access to specialist teachers for subject-specific support and guidance.
• An opportunity for you to find out more about the subjects that you would like to study post-16 (4-6 subjects).
• Gain early experience of Sixth Form learning, whilst getting to know your courses and teachers.

How will the Enrichment Programme work?

• Students will sign up to the different workshops that they would like to attend by completing the following form:
  Y11 to Y12 Enrichment Programme – Subject Sign-up Form.
• Once signed up, students will arrive in school and go straight to the room where their workshop is being delivered.
• Students should wear smart business wear (same as Sixth Form Taster Day).
• Students should bring a device, pen and paper.
• Students who are in school after a morning session, or in for an afternoon session, can have lunch in the dining hall.
• If in school and not in a workshop (e.g. after lunch or between workshops), students will be based in the Sixth Form Centre.

We would advise students to be involved in 4-6 Subject Enrichment Workshops and students are encouraged to attend the Careers, EPQ, DofE and Sports Leaders sessions on top of their specific subject sessions. Additionally, you will notice that some subjects have two workshops. These are repeated workshops to give students more scope to access all the subjects that they are considering for the Sixth Form.

Please can the Subject Sign-up Form be completed by Friday 16th June.

In the long run, this programme should help you feel more confident and prepared when starting in September. It is a great opportunity, enabling you to get ‘ahead of the game’ and prepare yourself for the next stage in your academic journey.

Please let me know if you would like to discuss any of the above in more detail. I hope this provides you with enough time to accommodate the Enrichment Programme in your planning.

I wish you all the best for your GCSE examinations.

Best wishes,

Mr Softley

Director of Sixth Form
