Welcome to our Virtual Sixth Form Open Evening. Below you will find information and videos regarding the Sixth Form and the subjects on offer.
Headteacher’s Welcome
Presdales is a wonderfully energetic school. The choices on offer make learning a truly inclusive experience. I do hope that you will be able to join us on our Sixth Form virtual open evening on Thursday 26th November. If for some reason you are unable to attend, I hope the videos on the website will give you an insight into the different subjects on offer at A Level as well as what our Sixth Form has to offer.
Head of Sixth Form
There are lots of good reasons, both for those of you who are considering staying at Presdales and for those of you who are considering joining the school in the Sixth Form. We offer a range of subject choices, high quality teaching and learning, and an experienced pastoral team.”
Virtual School Tour
We are thrilled to invite you into our school this year for Sixth Form Open Evening. We hope this virtual tour gives you a great insight into our school community and we hope to be able to welcome you to Presdales soon. All information regarding the curriculum and pastoral systems are outlined within this area of the website. Information about requesting further guidance and advice can be found at the bottom of this page.
Post-18 Options
Careers guidance is an integral part of life in the Sixth Form and everyone receives as much help as they need in reaching that all-important decision of what to do after Year 13. We encourage students to pursue the right path for them whether that be university, college, an apprenticeship, employment or a gap year. Advice is always tailored to meet the needs of each student. A Post 18 options evening is delivered to parents and carers to explain the options available to their son/daughter.
Extra-curricular & social aspects of the Sixth Form
There will be plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy life in the Sixth Form beyond the study of your chosen subjects, these include Model United Nations, Young Enterprise Scheme, Bar Mock Trial and Pinewood. We also offer a number of roles on the Sixth Form Leadership team such as Head/Deputy Head student, Head/Deputy Head of House, Senior Student and Charity and Mental Health Ambassadors. Year 12 students will also participate in 1 period of core PE a week in order to support their physical health and mental wellbeing.
