Advancing to VI Form
Before October half term, Year 11 pupils, along with students from other local senior schools and their parents, are invited to attend our VI Form Information Evening. Families can speak to each subject teacher and current A Level students about courses to gain an insight into The Marist VI Form. During October, Year 11 students also have the opportunity to sample VI Form life as they spend a day in the life of a VI Form student, trialling a range of lessons. It’s a great opportunity to get a feeling for some of the subjects offered only at A Level, like Psychology and Economics.
Our Year 11 Transition Programme provides all students a realistic experience of what work will be like in the VI Form and is designed to support the step-up to VI Form. Not only will all students gain more knowledge and understanding of their subjects, they will also improve their independent study skills which will be vital for future success in Further and Higher Education. All students will be completing a unit of work in the subjects they are likely to be studying next year.
