ESSENTIAL SUBJECTS FOR SPECIFIC UNIVERSITY COURSES

Sixth Formers are valued for every contribution they can make
Leadership opportunities abound during the Sixth Form; students can be School Prefects, Heads of House, captains of teams, leaders of music groups, committees and societies. Pupil voice is listened to and valued at Clayesmore and we expect the Sixth Form to play a key part in this. They are expected to lead by example as role models for the younger students and to take responsibility for their actions.
Our supportive and friendly Sixth Formers also have an easy relationship with the staff and help with duties - making sure things get done.
All our Year 12 students volunteer during the ACE programme; helping teach local primary school children to read, clearing local footpaths or organising charity events are some of the options.
Clayesmore Sixth Form is bursting with opportunities that will equip you with the skills to develop and contribute, long after you’ve left school.
Have you considered doing an EPQ?
Universities regard the Extended Project Qualification very highly, and an increasing number of students are opting to take it. Offering the opportunity to study a topic in depth and culminating in a final essay, artefact or research project, it is a freestanding AS qualification with UCAS points that adds a further dimension to Sixth Form study.
This is an opportunity to complete a project about a subject area that interests you. It can be related to subjects you are studying but must not be part of your A Level syllabus.
So you think you could do an EPQ?
If you are already at Clayesmore, you can start thinking about and planning an EPQ even before entering the Sixth Form.
