Last week, our prospective Sixth Form students enjoyed two engaging transition days, designed to give them a taste of Sixth Form life while helping them develop new skills and build confidence ahead of September.

On Thursday, students took part in a range of leadership activities, encouraging them to work collaboratively, communicate effectively, and develop the qualities needed to succeed as leaders within our school community. The activities provided an excellent opportunity for pupils to get to know one another, challenge themselves, and begin forming the strong relationships that will support them throughout their Sixth Form journey.

On Friday, students experienced a selection of Sixth Form taster lessons, giving them valuable insight into the subjects they may study next year. These sessions allowed pupils to meet teachers, explore new ideas, and experience the greater independence and academic challenge that Sixth Form learning offers.

A particular highlight of the day was a CPR training session delivered by Sergio from the Red Sky Foundation. Students learned essential lifesaving skills, including how to recognise someone in cardiac arrest, perform effective CPR, and understand the importance of acting quickly in an emergency. The session was both informative and inspiring, equipping our students with practical knowledge that could one day help save a life.

We would like to thank Sergio and the Red Sky Foundation for delivering such a valuable session, and we are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, maturity, and commitment shown by all of our students throughout the transition programme.

We look forward to welcoming them back in September as they begin the next exciting stage of their education in Sixth Form.
