SPONSORSHIP Students at the College are extremely fortunate to have substantial forms of sponsorship available to them. Details and application forms are issued in Year 13, but a broad description of the funds available to current sixth form students is presented here. These awards are reviewed every year. THE HAHC CENTENARY SCHOLARSHIP This scholarship is to commemorate the Centenary of the founding of the Hatcham School in 1875. The purpose of this award is to help a student to undertake a course at any place of higher education on leaving school. THE HABERDASHERS’ BOOK AWARD This has been generously donated by the Haberdashers’ Company to students gaining a place at University after sixth form education. The award is valued at up to £100 and is supplied to help students with the considerable cost of buying books and other educational material at the start of their degree course. (It is anticipated that up to fifteen qualifying students will receive this award). THE COCHRANE SCHOLARSHIPS This is an especially generous form of sponsorship available to Aske’s students entering university to read specifically Scientific, Mathematical and Engineering Degree courses. Reginald Cochrane was a pupil at Aske’s until 1915 and has bequeathed this award to encourage academic excellence. The value of the award is £1,000 per year for the duration of the course. HABERDASHERS’ UNIVERSITY ARTS BURSARIES These awards were introduced in March 2007 to encourage academic excellence in the Arts and Humanities. The value of the award is £1,000 per year for the duration of the course. In addition there are other scholarships available from the Haberdashers’ Company to assist with the funding of gap year projects, various musical and art/design related activities, medical electives and outstanding contribution to the academic and extracurricular activities of the College. Details and application forms for any of these awards can be obtained from Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College. ADVICE ON CHOICE OF COURSES/APPLICATION The Hatcham College sixth form has always been very popular and for the September 2012 intake received in excess of 1100 applications of which over 800 were from external candidates. Students who attend the Haberdashers’ Aske’s schools will be given first refusal for the courses available. External candidates will then be considered for any courses that have a vacancy. All applicants, internal and external, will be considered under the same course criteria. The closing date for completed internal and external applications is Monday, 17 December 2012. Choosing your courses at sixth form can be very exciting and a little daunting. You should consider your choices carefully, including your long term education and career plans. You should consider the entry grades needed for each subject and compare this with your predicted grades. Talk to your careers teachers, subject teachers, form tutors and your parents as well as other people of your own age who may have experience in order to get the best information possible. There is lots of information available at our Open Evenings and we welcome enquiries at any time. When making your choices, you should follow this checklist carefully with your tutor: • Talk to your teachers, your tutor and parent/guardian about your choices before deciding. Take your time, it’s important that you make the right choice. • Think about what you might want to do in the future. Do some research to check that you have chosen the right AS/BTEC subjects for what you want to do. • Make sure you make realistic choices based on the grades you are likely to achieve. Talk to your teachers and tutors and listen to their advice. They are bestplaced to know whether you are likely to be successful in their subject at a higher level. • Have a ‘reserve’ subject in mind, just in case you have to make a change. • Fill out the choice boxes. There are four blocks: A, B, C and D. Only pick one subject in each block. • If you want to apply for our Elite Science Programme, remember to tick the boxes under the subject blocks on the application form. This does not mean that you gain automatic entry as it is a competitive course. You will be interviewed later in the year for this programme. • Take your time when you write your personal statement (on application form) and present it neatly – it’s very important to make a good first impression! You can type a statement and stick it to the application form if you prefer. 4 Document Integrity Verified EchoSign Transaction Number: PH42CIWT6I3V28
• Make sure that you have checked your form with your tutor before you hand it in. This is very important since it will speed up your application if the information is accurate and if you have applied for courses well matched to your abilities. • It is a good idea to see the Careers Advisor as well as applying to our sixth form, in order to find out what other courses are available to you. Every student should consider other options as well as applying to our sixth form. Your tutor can help arrange an appointment with Careers for you and will do so, on request. GENERAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS To study at the College sixth form, you will usually need to gain a minimum of five A*–C grades. In addition to this, you will usually need: • For AS Level subjects, an A*– C grade at GCSE in the subjects (or related subjects) that you wish to study. Where a course is over-subscribed then places will be allocated by taking in to consideration the grade you have achieved in the subject (or related subjects) you have studied at GCSE and your overall total GCSE points score. • Where you have not achieved at least a C grade in English and/or mathematics then part of your programme should be retakes in those subjects. For further details on entry requirements, see details listed under each subject in this ‘Course Description’ booklet. The subjects are listed alphabetically. We advise you to discuss these entry requirements with your tutor and parents. We also recommend that you and your tutor look at your most recent school report/periodic assessment to match your current grades to the grades you will require for sixth form study.
