Starting Sixth Form

Starting Sixth Form

 


Welcome to the Year 11 transition area of our website. Here you will find all of the summer assignments we are asking sixth form applicants to complete. You should do only those assignments for the courses you intend to study next year. This should be 3 or 4 subjects for all applicants. There are two tasks for each subject and details can be found for each on the subject guidance documents. The deadline dates for each will be the first lesson back after the summer holidays in September.

You will also find on this page a range of other resources including information on the exams process this year, careers information, useful links and academic resources that will help to prepare you for the next stage of your education. This is available to all Year 11 students, whether you intend to study at NOA Sixth Form or have secured a place elsewhere.
