There are plenty of additional learning opportunities for you to choose from while you are not in school.  This page gives links to a huge range of resources, opportunities and materials from a wide range of organisations, colleges, universities and sectors.

You can choose from any of these materials which, although not compulsory for your KS5 courses, do offer some excellent and fascinating additional learning opportunities.

Future Learn - online courses

Future Learn is a platform which offers a huge range of materials and short online courses.  Many of the courses have been designed by Universities to help KS5 students get an insight and a better understanding of specialist subjects or areas of study.

It is worth exploring the range of courses available and finding something that grabs your interest - there really is something for everyone!

Courses range from just a few hours to more extended subjects and content and are a brilliant way to prepare for sixth form and for your future training or university plans.

BBC Bitesize

Since the school closures began in March 2020, the BBC have been increasing the range of resources and materials on their BBC Bitesize website.  It is a useful place to check and is being added to and improved all the time.

Core Maths (additional qualification)

In addition to three main subjects in Sixth Form, students can also study 'Core Maths' which is an increasingly popular subject which helps students in their use and application of their Maths skills.  This course involves two single period lessons per week and runs through Year 12 and .  

Students who study Core Maths will gain an additional qualification (plus the same UCAS points as an AS qualification) but also gain skills which help them in Applied Science, Business, Geography and Psychology.

Transform our world

This site is really designed for teachers/parents..  but you might find the resources and topics on Transform our world are a great help too....... and they all link to helping the planet!  Have a look and find something that grabs your interest!

Audible

Audible have opened up access to a huge number of stories on their platform.  This is a great resource which might support your future courses very nicely...  or... they might just be a really nice way to get lost in a good book!

GCSE Pod

GCSE Pod remains a really useful resource for you as you come to the end of Year 11 and begin the process of your transition to sixth form.  You still have access through your current school log in when in sixth form so this is still a great place to check your knowledge and fill any of those gaps from your courses this year.  

Sparx Maths

All students needing to retake their Maths GCSE in order to achieve a grade 4 will automatically be given access to Sparx Maths.  All retake students will be set weekly tasks and homework tasks to help them prepare for their exams.  The more time spent on Sparx working on these tasks, the greater the chance of improving exam grades.

UpLearn

UpLearn provides students with additional online support, resources and tuition for the following A level courses:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Economics
• Maths
• Physics
• Psychology

Their platform includes exam-board specific courses for AQA, CAIE, Edexcel, and OCR. If students are on a different exam board, they may choose whichever matches your syllabus the most.  

All timetables will be finalised once we have received final GCSE results in August.  These will then be issued during your enrolment day and induction week at the beginning of the new school year.

Email your teachers and ask!  It is important at KS5 that you communicate with your teachers and although you can always ask them in lessons or in school, email is a really useful way to check things, to ask questions or to go over things you are unsure of.

Your transport will all be organised for you, and you will have your own personal transport schedule.  Transport will be via our own SJH mini bus and driver.  Occasionally, we might use one of the contracted taxi firms where small numbers of students are travelling between schools.

Your partner schools and Training Providers will complete your reports and send these to us at SJH.  We will then add or include this in your report in the normal way.  You and your parents will also be invited to parents' evenings at all schools or colleges to discuss your progress.

Although we can make some course changes until the 2nd or 3rd week in September of your first year, it is normally not possible to change course any later than this.  It is vital that you discuss any concerns about your options as soon as possible so that if we do need to look at a course change, we can help you as soon as possible.

We will outline your dress-code during enrolment and induction week but when in school or college, you are expected to dress appropriately at all times.  Some courses will have specific requirements or clothing while most academic courses will simply need you to be clean, covered and comfortable.

Some students will be eligible to apply for the 16-19 Bursary which is designed to support students and help them to stay on in sixth form.  We will help you with these applications during induction week.  Your payments are linked to your attendance in school or college.

Every week, there is an opportunity for Sixth Form students to earn a 'Home Study Pass' (HSP) which will allow students to leave college after their morning timetabled sessions.  These HSPs are awarded every week to all students who have met our expectations linked to homework, conduct and punctuality and are extremely popular!

Yes!  This is a huge part of what we do in Sixth Form and we appreciate that all students will have their own plans, aspirations and needs when it comes to planning and applying for Post-18 options.  We have a structured Next Steps programme which begins in Year 12 and which will ensure every student has access to the best information, advice and guidance that they need to make informed choices.
