Sixth Form School Priorities 2023/24

To further enhance and embed the BSG curriculum to ensure a consistently demanding curriculum goals are met.
Pupil attendance and punctuality continue to improve overtime ensuring that their attitudes to education remain positive.

Intent

Our intent is to equip and prepare all our students for adult life so that they can lead full and productive lives as members of their own and the wider community.

Implementation

We will:

Provide a stimulating learning environment, where all students can access a broad curriculum, designed to educate, stimulate and challenge.
Creating a safe and respectful environment where diversity is valued and all students have an opportunity to realise their own unique potential.
Providing the highest quality of teaching and learning, through a skilled and appropriately trained and dedicated staff team.
All students will access a range of accredited courses which will increase learning opportunities and raise achievements.
Provide a service of support and guidance for all our students through a caring and nurturing community.
Preparing our students for adult life by taking part in Non-Qualification Activities and Work Experience.
Working in partnership with students, their families, professionals and local authorities, to ensure our learners are equipped to take their next steps into education, employment or training.

Impact

Our students have a clear pathway to higher education, employment or further training at the end of Year 13. They gain a high-quality education with qualification and skills to enable them to access paid employment, so our NEET (Not in Education, Employment and Training) figures remain low.

The sixth form curriculum follows and bronze/silver/gold sequence which provides a clear pathway over the two-years. Students complete the objectives within each component so they can track their progress and what their next steps are. Sixth form's aims are for all students to aim to graduate with gold honours and to be fully prepared for their next steps into the community.

The learners leave with high expectations for themselves and each other and respect for diversity, ambition and society and their school experiences prepare them for paid employment, how to behave in the outside world, their role in society and how they are a part of the local community.

This program is designed to support student in achieving a range of skills required for their working life. This program involves taking part in regular placements to build on employability skills which could lead on to full time employment at the end of the internship.

The key objective of the 16 to 19 Bursary is to provide financial support to our students aged between 16 to 19 (must be under 19 on 31st August of the academic year they start course) who face financial barriers that may well stop them accessing education.
