  1. Year 11 Assembly Progression to Sixth Form Mr Smith Mr O’Mahony

  2. IAGInformation, Advice and Guidance • We provide every student in Year 11 a one-to-one IAG meeting with a member of the Year 11 team; the Sixth Form team or a member of SLT. • This is to help guide you to make the best choice of subjects in Sixth Form. • It is to help you to apply for courses for which you will be qualified. • It is to help you pick choices that will help you achieve your future goals. • It is an opportunity for you to ask questions. • Each session will last for 15 minutes and you will leave your lessons for this meeting. • You will all receive a letter confirming the time and place of the meeting. • Please keep this with you/ask your tutor to sign your planner so you may leave your lesson.

  3. Sixth Form Team visit Year 11 PSHE • In order to give you further information about the Sixth Form application process, Results’ Day and Enrolment in August, a member of the Sixth Form team will visit your PSHE lessons over a 2 week period from 19th February until 2nd March. • An opportunity for you to ask questions. • An opportunity for you to find out about doing research.

  4. Sixth Form Application Deadline • You need to complete the Sixth Form application on the school website by Friday, 2nd March. • You can first access the application form on line from 23rd February. • We have not allowed access to the application form until this date so that all students have their IAG session before they make their choices. • IAG teachers will record what choices they have advised you to make. • Students whose choices differ significantly – especially if they choose courses for which they will not be qualified – will not receive an offer until AFTER they have been re-interviewed by Mr Smith.

  5. Make a sensible application… • Pick courses for which you are confident you will be qualified. • Do NOT pick courses for which you will not achieve the required entry grades. • NO student is allowed to study a course at Level 3 unless they have achieved ALL the entry criteria. • If you are not sure that you will achieve the entry requirements, then pick a course in which you are more confident. If you achieve the required grades for the other course, you can change to that course on Results’ Day. • If you pick a course for which you are not qualified, you will not be able to enrol on GCSE Results’ Day, you will have to return the following day and then some courses may already be full!

  6. Sixth Form Study Pathways Students will then be allocated to a Sixth Form Study Pathway, which is determined by their GCSE results. The pathways are:

  7. Facilitating Subjects

  8. Specialist Subjects

  9. Vocational Subjects

  15. Progress reports - Learning conversations • Identify 3 learning targets for 3 most at risk subjects • Agree your targets with your subject teachers – TALK TO THEM!!!!!! Seek their advise! • The purpose is to talk to your teachers so you can work towards improving your grades. • Record it all in your planner – this will be explained in form time.

  16. General advice • If you are unsure about any part of the progression process, speak to your tutor, subject teachers, the sixth form team or a member of the Year Team. • The sixth form is not a rite of passage – a lot of competition. Each student is discussed in detail prior to enrolment. • Alternative progression routes (other colleges or apprenticeships) – seek careers advice from Ms Farmah or your Year Team. • Discuss your intended progression pathway during your IAG session. • 12 weeks of lessons left after this week – make the most of your time. • Exercise, eat well and sleep well. • Stress is normal, everyone will feel it and we can help. • Use your time during lunch and after school wisely – attend revision sessions. • Listen to your teachers advice and guidance!!
