Students attend virtual careers conference

Since lockdown, the ‘busyness’ of Sixth Form life has continued with learning, tutorials and assemblies and importantly, helping Year 12 to prepare for their next steps and welcoming Year 11 into the Sixth Form community. Our ability to adapt to remote learning has been quite extraordinary.

As teaching staff our priority has been to keep the Sixth Form safe, whilst maintaining their education and progress. As part of this we ran our annual UCAS day remotely this year with the help of Lancaster University as part of our wider university preparation programme. 

Our students found the Get the Edge careers conference really useful. Topics included post-school study, including apprenticeships, and how our students could use their future careers for good.
