Sir William Ramsay School

16-19 Programme of Study

How do we meet the requirements of the 16 – 19 study programme?

• The Sixth Form program at Sir William Ramsay School consists of Level 3 qualifications (A-Levels, BTECs and Cambridge Nationals) programme of study.  All students study 3 or 4 Level 3 subjects and an Enrichment subject in Year 12.
• Students who do not hold a grade 4 in Maths or English are allocated lessons on their timetables to retake these subjects.  They can retake either Maths and/or English.
• Students in our Sixth Form are expected to take part in several activities during morning registration which provides them with the opportunity to develop a range of skills.
• Mentoring is used effectively to discuss a range of important issues and develop key skills.  This is completed with the Tutor/Head of Sixth Form
• Every student in Year 12 takes part in our Lecture Series and Year 13 in our Future Pathways sessions once a fortnight.  This provides our students opportunities to cover life skills, the process of applying to universities, apprenticeships, and employment and student finance.
• We provide opportunities for our students to visit higher education providers.
• All students receive careers and future planning support.
• Year 12 students actively seek work experience placements with the support of the Sixth Form Team and the Head of Careers.  Work experience is conducted throughout Year 12 once a week.
