Term 6 2020

Dear student,

This week, the 6^th form team would have been delivering a range of workshops and activities for post 18 pathways. This would have involved guest speakers and presentations from a range of careers and universities.

It is a great shame that this cannot go on this year.  It tends to be a highlight of the year 12 calendar as you get to interact with a range of outside speakers from a variety of jobs. 

We do, however, want to keep you as informed as possible in this current climate. 

As such, we have recorded a range of Youtube clips for you:

• Mr Williams discusses medicine, dentistry and veterinary pathways here:   https://youtu.be/sxMAkqXCCDc
• Mr Twizell discusses apprenticeship pathways here:  https://youtu.be/3aKFNNgizTw
• Mr O’Neill discusses Oxbridge pathways here:  https://youtu.be/2myFtdkfb7U
• Mr O’Neill explains how to write an effective personal statement across 3 sessions here:  https://youtu.be/BEJBt8k5UrE  /  https://youtu.be/QVoIhVV4_Wc  /  https://youtu.be/s5B0im7L7tQ
• Futurelearn/University of York have provided a fantastic short course on how to begin your pathway to university here:  https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/next-steps-to-university-from-choosing-a-course-to-your-first-assessment.  Please complete this course short course if you have any interest in the university route. 
• All resources and reading material for post 18 resources can be found here on Moodle under the heading ‘Post 18 Applications:  https://moodle.rainhammark.com/course/view.php?id=534

More information will follow as to how we aim to support you further with this.
