TTC SIXTH FORM - Tendring Technology College

1. Welcome to TTC Sixth Form
Thank you for choosing Tendring Technology College for your Sixth Form programme of study. It will not
be long before you discover just how different it is studying post-16 compared to your experiences in
“compulsory” school.
We treat all our students as individuals with particular aspirations and potential. We want to ensure we
provide the right course for the right student and to ensure that the right student is on the right course.
We look forward to supporting you in your quest for success. The most important difference is the need
for you to take more responsibility for your own learning. You will need to get much more involved with
your subject teachers and your personal tutor. Please check the TTC Sixth Form “Code for Success” so
that you understand your responsibilities as a Sixth Form student. This handbook will provide you with
the information to help you make the most of your time here in the Sixth Form.
Your time will pass very quickly so you should maximize the benefits of the courses you are studying and
take full advantage of the extra curricular and community life of the Sixth Form. There is so much on
offer!
Most important, though, is to remember that you are investing the next few years in the TTC Sixth Form
so that you can move on to university, further education/training, or directly into employment. You should
bear in mind that although exam qualifications are vital, other skills and experiences are important as
well, to help equip you for life in the future.
On behalf of the team, we wish you a very happy and successful period in TTC Sixth Form, and beyond!
