INTRODUCTION TO HATCHAM COLLEGE SIXTH FORM There has been a successful sixth form at Hatcham College for well over a hundred years and the traditions and excellence that have been established over time have been the foundation of our success. We have a strong ethos and expectations of high academic outcomes. Students have access to lots of educational facilities. Our offer of Extension Studies is open to all and we encourage students to join such events as the Senior Choir, orchestras, debating society, volunteering and many other activities. Being part of such a large and vibrant sixth form is excellent preparation for Further/Higher Education and the work place, giving students a broad and varied experience. The sixth form has its own purpose-built facilities in the Davidson Building. These facilities include a spacious learning suite, a drama studio, a media suite, an art studio, a music suite and two lecture theatres. In addition, we have recently added the ‘Café Fed’ to our sixth form facilities, giving all students access to a place to relax and socialise as well as an alternative venue for working. Hatcham College has a music specialism and offers many opportunities for our senior students to excel in this area. GENERAL INFORMATION ACADEMIC MENTORING All students meet with their tutors on a daily basis. They can expect to be firmly guided towards good attendance and punctuality records as well as receiving advice regarding homework, study skills and extracurricular activities. Students will also receive regular intensive tutorials to discuss and track their progress and to formulate programmes of study. This tutorial will include an element of self-assessment and students will be expected to reflect upon the grades they have achieved in recent assignments. They will also be given advice on Higher Education and provided with information and support on the process of application. BURSARY SCHEME There is no longer an Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) available to Post-16 students and there is no direct replacement from the government. However, our sixth form does honour a commitment to provide free school meals for all eligible sixth formers. There is also a government bursary grant which is available for our most vulnerable students. CAREERS GUIDANCE, WORK EXPERIENCE AND EMPLOYABILITY We believe that good quality careers education will raise the aspirations of all young people and help our students to become effective career planners and managers of their own progression through learning and work. It will increase motivation by linking activities in school with preparation for life post 16 and post 18. In providing unbiased IAG (Information, Advice and Guidance) our aim is to raise pupil achievement and increase confidence whilst helping to ensure the equality of opportunity for all. At the Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College sixth form we provide a comprehensive CEIAG programme which includes aspects of work related learning, enterprise education and financial capability. Future Pathway Planning is a key part of a student’s time in Year 12 and Year 13 with students participating in various activities throughout the year to ensure they can achieve their goals. The Careers Education, Future Planning and Work Related Learning Programmes assist students with self-development, careers exploration and career management. Throughout the year students will participate in the following: • Higher Education advice sessions • Student finance talks • Pre-university / pre-employment talks • Employability workshops • Work experience Most people spend many years of their life in a working environment and it is therefore important to equip our students with the necessary skills for them to make decisions about their future, to know how and where to access information and to link subject areas and qualifications with possible careers. Our students are supported by their tutor, Sixth Form Co-ordinator, UCAS Co-ordinator and the College’s Head of Careers and HE Adviser. 1 Document Integrity Verified EchoSign Transaction Number: PH42CIWT6I3V28
