Start of Term for Sixth Form students – September 2010
We realise there is a much longer lead in before lessons compared to other year groups, and on that note, wanted to give additional clarification for the start of term for Year 12 and 13 students.
The start of term is a very challenging time for Sixth Form students, ensuring that they meet Sixth Form and subject entry criteria, and most importantly that, with a full overview of their results, they are following the most appropriate pathway for any future aspirations and their strengths.
Year 12 To ensure each student receives the necessary support and guidance we will individually meet every single potential Year 12 student. For those that have no issues the job is fairly straightforward and they will be able to meet with us, complete their paperwork and leave until the time-tabled lessons start. However, for a large number there are always issues to resolve - students will need to change options, see Subject Teachers and Leaders then come back to the Sixth Form Team.
Once students have had the necessary input from staff, which could take until the end of the day on Tuesday 7 September, the administration can begin. The administrative side is another huge task; ensuring timetables are correct and printed.
Year 13 We have to follow a similar process for Year 13 students (Monday 6 Sept), although this is slightly more straightforward, hence their lessons starting a day earlier than Year 12.
In addition we run an induction morning for the 70-80 Ashlyns/Tring students who will be traveling to a host school along with a full transport meeting for these students.
Alongside the current applications to Sixth Form we will also have late applicants to assist. And the whole start of term programme is also run in conjunction with our partnership school, which also impacts on the timings.
We have run this pattern for the last two years and it has been very successful in ensuring that all the students have a slick start to their Sixth Form education and go straight into lessons.
Year 13 students will use any time at home to complete Personal Statements/CV's and UCAS applications and Year 12 may have summer work to complete or subject reading to start. If not they are very lucky!!
It is our aim that all students receive to necessary time and attention to ensure they feel comfortable with their chosen pathway and have a successful start to their courses.
Full details, regarding Sixth Form enrolment and start of term arrangements are provided in GCSE and AS results envelopes for internal applicants and have been posted to external applicants.
Late Applicants If you are considering a late application to join Tring School Sixth Form, we would like to invite you to join us on Tuesday 7 September at 9am where we will be able to meet with you to discuss your individual requirements.
