The Sixth Form at Malton - Prospectus

ENRICHMENT
AT MALTON
As well as supporting you in your academic studies, the Sixth Form also offers wider
opportunities to both develop and enhance your ‘soft skills’, through a number of
extra-curricular activities. Here is just a flavour of the different opportunities open
to you:
President’s Team
In the Spring Term of Year 12 students and staff elect a President and Vice-President, who in turn interview
students to be part of the Presidents’ Team of Senior Students. Working in teams, the Senior Students organise
fundraising activities across the school, stage events for different year groups, and meet regularly with the
Director of Sixth Form to raise student issues, ideas and concerns. The final task for the Team is to organise the
all-important Year 13 Prom.
Senior Librarians
Working with the English Department, Senior Librarians provide additional support and assistance for the school
Library, including cataloguing, referencing and sorting.
In Class Support
This is a great way for Sixth Form students to interact with younger students throughout school. Opportunities
exist in many subjects to support staff with lessons, gain experience of mentoring and coaching students, but
also encouraging and inspiring younger students.
Additionally, we operate a paired reader scheme for younger students who may require a little extra support with
their reading. Working in teams, you will read books together, listening to the younger students read, as well as
reading to them.
Trips & Visits
We organise a number of trips and visits for all Sixth Form students – including a
team building day for Year 12 students as well as visits to UCAS and other careers
fairs to help you determine the right path post 18.
Subject trips and visits also continue to take place in Sixth Form. Key trips each
year are the London Arts Trip as well as a Geography field trip to Alnwick. Previous
students have been involved in national and even international events such as World
Holocaust Day.
Celebrating Success
We also like to recognise and celebrate student successes along the way. Our annual KS4 & KS5 Celebration
Evening does just that, recognising students who have made considerable progress, gone above and beyond, or
excelled in a particular area. Equally, our termly Rewards Assemblies recognise the smaller, day-to-day successes.
And at the end of your two years, there is the Year 13 prom to look forward to – a chance for you to relax,
unwind, let your hair down – and celebrate all your achievements, whilst also looking forward to the next exciting
stage.
