What happened on the evening

Mr M Sim gave Keynote Talks in the Phythian Hall at 6pm and 7pm. They outlined the nature of sixth form study, the academic and enrichment opportunities available to you and how to make an application to the Sixth Form.

Students in the Sixth Form take three subjects. Each session consisted  of a ten minute presentation. Additional course details are available in the Courses link below.

Members of the Sixth Form tutor team were  available in the Sixth Form reception area throughout the evening to answer any specific questions.

We enjoyed meeting you!
