WELCOME: from the Head Student<br />

I would like <strong>to</strong> welcome you very warmly <strong>to</strong> <strong>Lincoln</strong> <strong>Minster</strong> <strong>School</strong> Sixth Form. Please feel free <strong>to</strong><br />

ask myself or any of the other prefects if you have any queries regarding <strong>our</strong> Sixth Form. You are in<br />

the process of making an extremely important decision for y<strong>our</strong> or y<strong>our</strong> child‟s future, so I appreciate<br />

that you will want <strong>to</strong> be as well informed as you possibly can be.<br />

As clichéd as it may sound, I remember attending the same Open Evening almost two years ago now,<br />

and the time has flown by! So I feel that the emphasis must be placed on valuing every single day.<br />

The key <strong>to</strong> success in the Sixth Form is a sustained approach and consistently high standard of school<br />

work; AS and A2 levels are not suited <strong>to</strong> „cramming‟. Our Sixth Form environment facilitates this<br />

independent study and enc<strong>our</strong>ages its pupils <strong>to</strong> utilize their time effectively.<br />

I currently study Chemistry, Biology and Philosophy, and the aspirations that I have in terms of<br />

w<strong>here</strong> and what I hope <strong>to</strong> study have been enc<strong>our</strong>aged realistically and positively by staff and the<br />

culture of the Sixth Form. As a direct result of my time at <strong>Lincoln</strong> <strong>Minster</strong> <strong>School</strong>, I feel that I can<br />

embark on the next stage of my education with confidence, independence and enthusiasm. This year<br />

we have eight Oxbridge applicants, and from Medicine <strong>to</strong> Law, Drama <strong>to</strong> Graphics, the school ethos<br />

„The Best in Everyone‟ is evident through the rich and diverse variety of c<strong>our</strong>ses that <strong>our</strong> students are<br />

in the process of applying for.<br />

I hope that <strong>Lincoln</strong> <strong>Minster</strong> <strong>School</strong> will be the place w<strong>here</strong> you can realise y<strong>our</strong> individual hopes and<br />

aspirations, and then strive <strong>to</strong> achieve these, aided by strong teaching and pas<strong>to</strong>ral support. Immersing<br />

y<strong>our</strong>self in <strong>our</strong> vibrant Sixth Form culture will facilitate y<strong>our</strong> own personal development, so do not<br />

hesitate <strong>to</strong> join clubs and societies; such experiences will shape you in<strong>to</strong> a well rounded individual<br />

and influence y<strong>our</strong> views and attitudes forever.<br />

With my very best wishes,<br />

Eleanor Green<br />

Head Student<br />
