Year 11 Sixth Form Experience Day – 18 October
We hope that girls in Year 11 have enjoyed the opportunities so far to find out more about life in the Sixth Form and the subjects on offer. Before half term, we have arranged for a Sixth Form Experience Day for Year 11 to spend the day sampling Sixth Form lessons and having the chance to do some revision ahead of the forthcoming assessments. We would like to wish all of Year 11 good luck with their preparation over half term.
Year 13 Early Applicants for University
Well done to all the early applicants for meeting the 15 October deadline, and good luck to everyone for the next steps, including university admissions assessments taking place during and after half term. Details of further interview preparation, including the interview exchange with Lancing College will follow after half term.

Work is ongoing with Year 13 UCAS applications to ensure these are ready to send during the second half of term. Students who wish to progress their applications straight after half term are advised to be proactive over the break in finalising their personal statements and to contact Dr Hannan.
