Plymouth College is holding a Sixth Form Open Evening on Monday 24th January 2011.
The Open Evening will take place in the Sixth Form Centre, where visitors can drop in between 5.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to find out more about A Level options and the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Prospective students will also be able to talk to current sixth formers and find out what sixth form life is really like at Plymouth College. Refreshments will be served in the bistro.
Sixth form at Plymouth College provides a whole range of opportunities for students to develop their academic strengths, as well as other important life skills they will need outside of the classroom. Studying beyond Year 11 is viewed as a period of educational transition, and the aim is to equip students with the confidence to study independently and develop the self-discipline necessary to be successful at university.
The Sixth Form Centre gives them independence within the framework of the school, whether it's for private study or just relaxing with a cappuccino in the bistro. In addition, there are many opportunities to help students take their final steps into adulthood, with some becoming prefects, others captains of sports teams and some taking on social responsibilities.
A Level results are consistently high, with most students getting into their first choice of university. It has also been a successful year for business competitions with Plymouth College clinching national titles in both Student Investor and the Enterprise Challenge. But whatever choices they make - higher education, work, travel or something completely different - students leave Plymouth College prepared for their future lives.
