It’s an exciting time to be part of the Ashville Sixth Form. It celebrated its best ever A Level examination results in the Summer, which led to Ashville College climbing six places to feature in The Sunday Times’ Parent Power 2023 top 10 independent secondary schools in the north – the first time it has achieved this status. The FutureReady@Ashville programme, meanwhile, is in full swing, guiding and preparing pupils for life beyond school.
On Thursday 19 January 2023, a Sixth Form Taster Day will be held for prospective pupils looking to gain a real insight into Ashville school life.
So, what can you expect on the day?
1) A complimentary breakfast
Nobody’s ready for a busy day without a hearty breakfast. After sign-in, participants will head to our newly refurbished dining hall to fuel themselves up on a range of nutritious, tasty food prepared by our on-site catering team.
2) A Sixth Form learning day
Taster events can sometimes be brief, but we are offering a full school day! Choose five different subjects from our range of A Level, BTEC and Cambridge Technical qualifications to try for a single session on the day and leave one period free to experience the private study facilities within our Sixth Form Centre.
3) A chance to get a feel for the place
From our dining hall and Sixth Form Centre communal spaces to the classrooms and sports facilities, you will get a real feel for the learning environment and be able to decide if it’s for you.
4) A day to meet the people
You will meet many of the highly experienced, skilled and caring team of teachers and staff you would come across on a normal school day here at Ashville. It’s one thing to read about our team on paper, and quite another to be taught by them in the flesh!
5) You will feel like a ‘real’ Sixth Former
The Taster Day will enable you to experience ‘real’ Sixth Form lessons and be fully integrated into the Sixth Form in terms of your free period, break, lunch time, and use of the café!
We hope that the opportunity to be one of our Sixth Formers for a day is an exciting one and will leave participants hungry for the real thing at Ashville. There are still places available on the Taster Day, so don’t miss out. Book your place here.
