The Year 12 Progression Week is compulsory for all students unless they have a work experience placement. It is designed to provide support and advice for students beyond Sixth Form, to enable the preparation of University and Apprenticeship applications.
The objective is for all students to have at least two progression routes prepared, and a personal statement completed, so all are able to apply for their chosen pathways early in Year 13.
Progression Week will include:
- Monday 21 June: Guest speakers from various universities, UCAS Registration, course application, apprenticeship and finances talks.
- Tuesday 22 June: A trip to Sussex University (am) and Brighton seafront/pier (pm); students will also be given time to explore Brighton Pier and Seafront.
- Wednesday 23 June: Work Shadowing/ Peer Mentoring
- Thursday 24 June: Leadership Treasure Hunt – Central London including Hyde Park, Kensington and surrounding areas. Students will be working their way around London in unsupervised groups.
- Friday 25 June: Work Shadowing/Peer Mentoring.
Please note:
- All school based activities will require students to wear school uniform.
- For offsite trips, students are to come in appropriate clothing for the day and that they either take a packed lunch, or have money to buy food/drinks during the day.
- In order to participate in all the trips, students must return the reply and parental permission online, no later than Friday 4 June 2021.
- In addition, for the Brighton trip to run successfully, we are asking for a voluntary contribution of £15.00 to be made through ParentPay no later than Friday 4 June 2021.
I appreciate that this is a busy period for students, as they are rightly focused on their examinations, however, please ensure all returns (Work Shadowing and Peer Mentoring) and permissions are completed to published deadlines.
Please contact Ms Akaydin (Head of Year 12) at school if you have any further questions.
