Clayesmore Sixth Form Prospectus Final

WELCOME TOTHE SIXTH FORM Moving to the Sixth Form is a huge step towards independence and freedom and at Clayesmore, we acknowledge that growing sense of maturity with greater responsibility and freedom of choice. We recognise that a ‘one size fits all’ approach is inappropriate for modern young men and women and we have provided a flexible academic programme to ensure that all our students can tailor their studies to their own personal ambitions. This means that everyone can choose from an broad range of A Level or BTEC subjects and throw in an EPQ, too. If a traditional diet of science and maths is what you’re after, we can do it. If you are arty or sporty or musical, or your interests lean towards the performing arts, that’s fine, too. And if you are looking for something a little more bespoke, with a mix of all those subjects perhaps, we’ll aim to find a programme that’s just right for you. Clayesmore understands that the Sixth Form is a fresh start and an opportunity for you to specialise in subjects you love, or to delve deeper into a new area of interest. And we have the facilities to allow this to happen: from our fantastic DT centre, to our Business School, Cookery School and incredible Art department. The recently refurbished state of the art gym is a fabulous facility for all our sports men and woman. We understand that the world is changing rapidly and Clayesmore aims to give students the skills and qualifications they need as a springboard to the next phase of their journey. Our experienced team of Sixth Form tutors, Head of Sixth Form and our Head of Careers are here to support and guide you through every step of this important process either towards the university of your choice or on the exciting adventure of entering the world of work through apprenticeships or a sponsored degree. We also know that you need more than a strong academic foundation and that life is about having interests and a bit of fun too. With that in mind, the LEX Programme will continue to provide a range of opportunities to explore and develop new interests and skills and there is a vibrant and varied social programme for students to enjoy, too. All this means that by the time you leave Clayesmore you will be confident, independent and resilient - ready to take on the world! Mrs Jo Thomson Head of Clayesmore Here we aim to give you a taste of all the exciting things that are on offer to the Clayesmore Sixth Former. The range is immense! 1 CLAYESMORE | S I XTH FORM | PROS PECTUS 202 6 / 2 8
