St. Brendan’s A Level Taster Day

Our Year 10 cohort has reached an important stage in their school life – the transition between KS4-KS5. Soon they will be in entering Year 11 and deciding what path to take after Fairfield. Will it be Sixth Form, College or an Apprenticeship?

We have been fortunate to work closely with one of our local Post 16 centre’s – St. Brendan’s Sixth Form College. They offered a selection of our students the chance to attend their ‘Level 3 Discovery Day’. Our students had an opportunity to try out two different A Level subjects of their choice along with experiencing a seminar on ‘Introduction to College Life’, whereby they explained what an average day could look like, the importance of your tutor/mentor and any pastoral concerns the young people may have.

When we come back in September our students will be in full swing of making their Post16 choices. There will be further communication surrounding this in the new academic year.

Here are a few photos of some of the taster sessions:
