3 Welcome to the Sixth Form During the next few weeks you will make important decisions affecting the rest of your life. Some of you may be ready to consider employment, training or an apprenticeship, but many of you will continue at school, moving into the sixth form. Leadership of the Sixth form...is outstanding. Students progress is carefully tracked so that students know where they are and what they need to do to improve Ofsted 2014 Students are positive about the quality of careers information and guidance they receive. The vast majority who complete their courses go on to study at university, some opting to take up apprenticeships. Ofsted 2014 'Sixth formers provide excellent role models for younger students. They demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. Ofsted 2014 Teaching makes a strong contribution to students good learning and achievement, growth in knowledge, understanding and skills, and positive attitudes to learning. To achieve the best results from your time in the sixth form, it is crucial that you choose carefully the most appropriate courses for your ability, interest and future pathway, whether that is on to higher education or into a career. We aim to provide all the necessary information and advice to help you make intelligent decisions as you move through the admissions process. As a student currently in one of our partner schools, you have access to a common curriculum programme. Your can choose from over 50 level-3 courses. Most of our post-16 students already attend Blessed William Howard Catholic High School, King Edward VI High School, Sir Graham Balfour School, Stafford Manor High School and The Weston Road Academy, but we extend a warm welcome to students from other areas. There are many good reasons for continuing your education into the sixth form. The Stafford Sixth Form Partnership is a successful and supportive collaboration which encourages the best from all our students. The partner schools and academies in Stafford have been working successfully together for several years. Our goal is to maximise your opportunities by ensuring you have access to the broadest possible curriculum, whether this a purely academic route or a mix of vocational and academic subjects. A unique feature of the sixth form is that whilst each partner retains its unique identity and ethos, co-operation takes place where it is clear students will benefit. Students gain from the advantage of belonging to an institution which will support them through the sixth form and give them all necessary pastoral care and tutorial support. Alongside this, a student can take full advantage of choosing a programme of study from all partners. To keep travelling to a minimum, where a subject is available at your own school it is normal practice to study there, but if you find there is a clash, or the subject you wish to study is not offered by your school, then you can follow courses on offer in all partner institutions. This will involve travelling between schools, and to allow this to happen all partners operate a broadly common timetable. We look forward to welcoming you to the Sixth Form in Ofsted

4 Five Reasons to choose the Sixth Form Success 1 Success is paramount to everyone who works in the sixth form. Last year the overall pass rate at A-level was 98% which is equal to the national average. Teaching has been rated as good and outstanding in recent Ofsted reports, which have also commented on the outstanding curriculum programme available in the partnership. Choice 2 The partnership means that you are able to take advantage of one of the widest curriculum offers available to any group of students at any sixth form. The broadly common timetable and transport arrangements, allow you to benefit from over 40 courses at both A- level and level-3 BTEC, the only offer of its kind in Stafford. Support 3 You will be excellently supported in the sixth form. You will be guided through the transition from GCSE to A-level and level-3 BTEC study, and will have an assigned tutor, responsible for overseeing your progress, monitoring your academic targets, and supporting you with applications to university, apprenticeships, college or the workplace. Monitoring 4 You will have personalised target grades based on your previous academic performance. Progress against these targets is monitored on a regular basis. This ensures that you remain focused and well motivated, and retain a sense of realism about their academic performance. If you start to slip you will receive supportive intervention. 2 5 Enrichment You are offered an extensive range of enrichment activities in addition to your academic studies. These may include Extended Project or further recreational and academic options, and even the planning and funding of visits abroad, all of which give you the opportunity to develop existing interests or try out new ones.

5 Within the Stafford Sixth Form Partnership there are different combinations of courses available, and a clear set of entry criteria for each programme. A Level Programme Entry Criteria The standard entry criteria to study in the sixth form is an A*-C in at least five different subjects, including English and mathematics which would usually be at grade 5 or above (equivalent to grade C in previous years). To study mathematics, you will be required to achieve a grade 6 at GCSE. To study further mathematics, you will be required to achieve a 7/8/9 grade in mathematics at GCSE. To study modern foreign languages or music, you will be required to achieve at least a B grade in that subject at GCSE. To study science subjects at A-level (biology, chemistry, physics or psychology), you will be required to achieve at least a B grade in additional science or have achieved B or above in the individual subject area if taken as a separate science. For some A-levels with a high mathematical content (particularly computing, chemistry and physics) GCSE at grade 6 in mathematics would be advantageous. To study other subjects already taken at GCSE you must achieve at least a grade 5 or C grade or above in that subject. Technical and Applied General Programme To study the Technical and Applied General Programme, you should have achieved an A*-C in at least five different subjects with a grade 4 or above in English Language and mathematics. You will be able to select a combination of an applied and an A Level course. Whichever pathway you would like to take you will need to discuss this with your Head of Sixth Form who will advise you on your choices. What if you don t meet these criteria? For students who do not meet these criteria, don t panic! Discuss this with your Head of Sixth Form who will look at the options available. Admissions Panel Also, students can be referred to the Admissions Panel where an applicant: offers alternative qualifications; has not met entry criteria but there are known mitigating circumstances; wishes to repeat a year of a course. The panel comprises representatives of heads from partner schools and the Partnership Manager. It meets during the first week of the Autumn Term. The panel reserves the right not to offer a place on a course to students who, it believes, would not benefit from it. 3 3

8 How to Apply for Sixth Form Stafford Sixth Form Partnership uses UCAS Progress for its applications. Your school will guide you through the process and may require you to complete your application during personal meetings with tutors.

9 Entry Process This is an exciting and busy time if you are in Y11, but it is vital that you research your future programme of study very carefully. You should think about your possible post-18 options and, in doing so, you may wish to look at university prospectuses or websites to view their entry criteria. You should also consider your own strengths, see where you are succeeding, but also consider subjects which may be new to you: psychology, sociology, etc. Take time to read carefully the individual course specification information given on the UCAS Progress website before making your choice. The Stafford Sixth Form provides good teaching and a wide range of courses that means that we can study exactly what we want to. Student By using this guide you can work out your timetable when discussing your preferred programme of study and see what travel implications it may involve. Do not be put off by this. As a sixth form student you will gain a good experience of what life beyond school, such as university or the workplace, may be like. You re given more independence but need to take responsibility for your work and manage it well Student The application process usually begins after your mock GCSE examinations. Each school hosts a Post-16 Evening. Some students may not know what A-levels are or the difference between BTEC level-3 Extended Diplomas or Diplomas. Take as much advice as you can from school, home, advisors and, of course, Staffordshire Careers and Participation Services. All the people are really friendly across all of the sites. There is also a really good level of extra support.
