Year 11 Futures Day

On Thursday 2nd November, we ran A Level taster sessions for those students who are considering taking A Levels. During the morning, our students were given the opportunity to experience all subjects which are not offered at GCSE (for example, Media, Psychology, and Politics). In the afternoon, they chose to attend taster sessions in subjects which are offered at GCSE (for example, Physics, German, and PE).

For our Year 11s who are considering pursuing a college pathway, they visited both the Broxbourne and Ware Hertford Regional College campuses. They experienced what college life would be like and also spent time in different departments, thoroughly enjoying participating in sessions such as Fashion, Media Makeup and Travel & Tourism.

We hope our students benefitted from the day which was designed to enable them to make informed decisions regarding their choices after GCSEs.

THE HERTFORDSHIRE VIRTUAL CAREERS FAIR FOR PARENTS & CARERS

Taking into account feedback from last year we have decided to host the event on Zoom.

Wednesday 24th January from 17:30 – 19:00 online, this free of charge event is designed specifically for parents and carers who would like to explore the apprenticeship and T Level options available to their child.

This event will be interesting for all parents and carers, but will be particularly useful for those supporting children in year groups 10, 11, 12 and 13.

We are really pleased to announce Anna Morrison CBE Founder of Amazing Apprenticeships will be doing a keynote speech on apprenticeships, degree apprenticeships and T levels.
