Sixth Form Life
Extra-curricular and Social Activities
Our Sixth Formers enjoy access to a wide range of extra-curricular activities that help support their CV as well as allow them to develop new skills, let off steam and have some fun! From charity zumbathons to the Ten Tors Challenge and from organising community Christmas parties to off-site team building challenges, there's always some action to get involved with. Cafe 6 and the Common Room are popular venues for socialising and brainstorming ideas for new events.
In addition, there are many opportunities to take part in course related trips and visits. In the past these have included a Humanities trip to Amsterdam, a Media trip to Paris and a History trip to London.
Students, within the sixth form, are also given the opportunity to work with other members of the college community. From tutor group mentors to subject support, students are encouraged to develop their interpersonal skills through such activities. Working closely with Exeter University, our students are also involved in a Coachbright (http://www.coachbright.org/) mentoring programme with year 10s. This programme is future focused, goal orientated, and concerned with enabling others to move forward with their lives more effectively than if they were doing it alone.
‘I think Coach Bright is a fantastic opportunity not just because it gives the Year 10s support that I myself would've have loved when I was taking my GCSEs, but it also allows you both to improve your planning and communication skills together. ‘ Charlotte Hadfield – year 12
"I'm really glad that I moved here; I'm enjoying it much more than the last few years of school." Amelia (Year 12)
