Sixth Form Open Evening at Plymouth College
Published: 07 January, 2011
Plymouth College is holding a Sixth Form Open Evening on Monday
24th January 2011.
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. It has also
been a successful year for business competitions with Plymouth
College clinching national titles in both Student Investor and the
Enterprise Challenge. But whatever choices they make - higher
education, work, travel or something completely different -
students leave Plymouth College prepared for their future
lives.
