SIXTH FORM NEWS Ms Rapson Head of Sixth Form
It has been another amazing term for the sixth form. It has been a busy term for both year groups with Year 13 revising and taking their mock exams and Year 12 preparing and then delivering EPQ presentations. This alongside their commitment to such worth-while extra-curricular activities are a testament to the fantastic students we have. Over the last weeks, Year 13 have managed a heavy timetable of revision and exams. Their commitment to their own learning, with outstanding attendance at all exams was exemplary. They managed their time effectively and throughout maintained such a positive spirit and good humour. Year 12 delivered superb EPQ presentations. All supervisors were delighted by the high-level quality of research, the confident delivery and attention to detail with power-points, posters, and handouts. These presentations showed how lucky we are as a school to have such dedicated students who are both interested and interesting! In September we asked our sixth formers to apply to become sixth form leads; supporting the school community on key areas within our school. Our current leadership team were selected from over 70 applications and our sixth form leaders are growing into their roles. Lead for Dance, Freddie Buchanan is now regularly working with key stage 3 running dance sessions after school with great success. Evelina, lead for performing arts, is heavily involved with key stage 3 Orchestra and our Sustainability Leads, Grace and Tiye have been meeting School Governors and Mr Price to put forward plans for sustainability at Cherwell. Diane and Kayan ran a successful bake sale, raising over £100 in one morning for their respective charities supporting Inclusion, Diversity and Freedom from Sexual Harassment and are planning to get the sixth form involved in 'Denim Day' in April. Again, the commitment of students involved with all our enrichment and extra-curricular activities reflects their willingness to be involved and to lead our sixth form community. We hope all our students have a relaxing and well-deserved Easter holiday, and take this opportunity to say good luck and ‘Turavallista Matkaa’ (safe journey in Finnish!) to our intrepid 32 Year 12 students and 5 staff going to Finland and Estonia through the Turing scheme.
