Post 16 Offer
Barnwell Sixth Form
We offer an excellent range of Post 16 courses that provide pathways to success for our students.
To make the transition into our Sixth Form as smooth as possible we will be interviewing each of our year 11 students, and guiding them into the most appropriate post-16 provision. Staff interviewing will have an expertise in the needs of the students concerned and the pathways available to them.
Students will be able to choose from a very wide range of subjects, offered both at Level 3 and Level 2 – see attached grid
LEVEL 3 = 5 or more A* - C Grades
Students taking a Level 3 course usually choose one Level 3 subject from each of 4 blocks (A to E).
In the fifth block time is given for a Guidance and Support programme and the possibility exists to take another course such as ASDAN, Healthy Exercise, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or a GCSE.
LEVEL 2 and 3 = Borderline 5 A* - C Grades
Some students will be able to take a mixture of Level 2 and 3 courses. These will be discussed on an individual basis. Subjects chosen must be in different blocks (A to E)
LEVEL 2 = 5 or less A* - G Grades
Students take three or four subjects and also take the guidance programme in a fourth or fifth block.
At this stage we consider all applications for the Sixth Form and students make a provisional choice of subjects to study. The final decision of what subjects to take is made with students after their GCSE results in August. All students who apply to join our Sixth Form have an individual interview at the end of August to confirm their subject choices.
We welcome all questions and queries about our Post 16 courses and these can be made to:
Mr Triggs – Assistant Headteacher
Mrs Johnson – Learning Leader for Post 16
