Y12 Induction Days
23 June 2026
We were delighted to welcome over 120 prospective Sixth Form students across Monday 22nd June and Tuesday 23rd June for two vibrant and engaging induction days. The events provided an excellent introduction to life in the Sixth Form, offering students a taste of both the academic and enrichment opportunities available.
We began with a warm welcome over breakfast, followed by a lively and competitive quiz that quickly set the tone for collaboration and friendly competition. Students then experienced their very first A Level lesson, giving them a valuable insight into the pace, challenge and independence expected in Sixth Form study.
A range of team-building activities encouraged students to form new friendships and develop key skills, with highlights including the challenge of constructing the tallest tower using marshmallows and spaghetti, alongside a series of energetic team games. These activities fostered communication, creativity and resilience—qualities that will underpin their success in the years ahead.
Students also benefited from an informative session led by VolkerFitzpatrick as part of our Ambition programme, who shared valuable insights into careers and apprenticeships in the construction industry, including their work alongside Transport for London. This provided an important introduction to the wide range of pathways available beyond Sixth Form.
The induction days also gave students the opportunity to explore the breadth of our academic and extra-curricular offer. Students signed up for a wide range of enrichment activities, including debate club, tennis, football, basketball, baking and board games, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy alongside their studies. In addition, they were introduced to key academic opportunities such as The Brilliant Club, the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), and Core Maths—programmes designed to stretch and challenge students while enhancing their future university and career prospects.
We look forward to welcoming students back in August as we celebrate their examination results and formally enrol them into the Sixth Form, ready to begin the next exciting chapter of their educational journey.
