SIXTH FORM
Sixth Form Enrichment Programme
At S. Peter’s we aim to realise every child’s God-given
potential and this is also applied to our Enrichment
Programme.
This compulsory module allows students to create their
own bespoke extra-curricular enrichment from 6 different
categories, known as ‘roads’, which will continue to build
on and expand their interests beyond what they learn in
the classroom.
The roads available to students are Academic, Athletics
and the Arts, Practical Skills, Work Experience, School
Community, and Charity, and each are connected to our
school ethos as they are linked with a core Christian
value.
Each half term, students will choose a different road to
explore, for example, a student may choose to participate
in ‘Crash Course University Cooking’ in the Practical Skills
road for the first half term and then the following half term
explore the ‘Film Club’ option in the Athletics and the Arts
road. This ensures a holistic approach to education in
S. Peter’s Sixth Form, and provides students with many
experiences that can be useful for their own wellbeing
as well as for future university, apprenticeship, and job
applications.
Assessment Mentoring & Intervention
We regularly report on student’s progress and provide
detailed assessment information enabling students and
parents to understand where they are currently and how
they can progress further.
We intervene quickly to support progress and use a
variety of strategies to support and help our students.
All students are valued equally and, if you find you need
some extra support academically or personally, we make
sure you get it quickly.
Careers and Life Skills Programme
From the beginning of Year 12 we have a programme of
activities in place to ensure that all students are aware of
the opportunities available to them after sixth form.
All students (and parents) have access to the Unifrog
online platform which supports students in their careers
research and applications for university courses or
apprenticeships.
In addition to this we support students with tutorial
sessions in a range of activities including: university and
apprenticeship visits, study skills sessions, interview
techniques, well-being support sessions, financial skills,
e-safety, drugs awareness, online presence and much
more. A. Tranter - Lead
