Sixth Form Open Evening and Entrance Examination - 12/1/10
Published: 12 January, 2010
Independent school, Plymouth College, is holding a Sixth Form
Open Evening on Thursday 4th February 2010. The Year 7
Entrance Examination is a couple of days later on Saturday 6th
February.
The Open Evening will take place in the Sixth Form Centre, where
visitors can drop in between 5.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to find out more
about A Level options and the International Baccalaureate
Diploma. Prospective students will also be able to talk to
current sixth formers and find out what sixth form life is really
like at Plymouth College. Refreshments will be served in the
bistro.
Sixth form at Plymouth College provides a whole range of
opportunities for students to develop their academic strengths, as
well as other important life skills they will need outside of the
classroom. Studying beyond Year 11 is viewed as a period of
educational transition, and the aim is to equip students with the
confidence to study independently and develop the self-discipline
necessary to be successful at university.
The Sixth Form Centre gives them independence within the
framework of the school, whether it's for private study or just
relaxing with a cappuccino in the bistro. In addition, there
are many opportunities to help students take their final steps into
adulthood, with some becoming prefects, others captains of sports
teams and some taking on social responsibilities.
A Level results are consistently high, with most students
getting into their first choice of university - two pupils have so
far received Oxbridge offers for 2010. It has also been a
successful year for business competitions with Plymouth College
clinching national titles in both Young Enterprise and Make Your
Mark. But whatever choices they make - higher education, work,
travel or something completely different - students leave Plymouth
College prepared for their future lives.
