  • Holy Trinity Annual Report
    HOLY TRINITY Potten End The Church at the Heart of the Village ANNUAL REPORT Year ending 31st December 2019 UPDATE FROM THE VICAR Dear members of Holy Trinity, This annual report and upcoming APCM is a strange one. Due to legal requirements, our annual report must sit alongside our financial statement (which can be viewed on our website) which cover the year of 2019. This invariably means that the report is usually at least a couple of months ‘out of date’ when the Annual Parochial Church Meeting traditionally comes round in the spring. However, in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the closure of churches then gradual re-opening, this meant that APCMs haven’t been able to happen until now. It is our legal duty to have this meeting but it is going to feel strange that we will be closer to 2021 and to next years APCM, than we are to 2019! And yet we are where we are, so therefore here in this document is the agenda, past minutes, reports and financial review in readiness for our APCM on Sunday 18th October at 11.45am in church and via Zoom. We hope that you are able to attend the meeting either in person or online (Zoom details below) but if not please send us your apologies (email [email protected]) or any questions/comments that you would like to raise. With regard to the conduct of the meeting, in order to make it go as smooth as possible (especially as we’re trying something new with also having it ‘virtual’) we will be taking the report as read and inviting any comments or questions that you may have.

  • Sixth Form Curriculum Guide 2018 Admissions the SIXTH FORM at BERKHAMSTED
    Sixth Form Curriculum Guide 2018 Admissions THE SIXTH FORM AT BERKHAMSTED Sixth Form can bring some of the happiest days as students benefit from a real sense of purpose in preparing for the next phase of life and an increasing sense of responsibility as they act as role models and take on leadership positions. The main aim of Berkhamsted Sixth is to produce confident, ambitious, well-qualified and happy individuals who have the skills to rise to the challenges of the modern and ever-changing world. As nearly all our students go on to higher education, the Sixth Form has a strong academic focus. A level work is challenging and requires a high level of motivation and responsibility. Self-discipline is crucial, as is a willingness to be fully involved in academic study. Sixth Form students will receive encouragement and support to achieve their potential in their A levels, but they also need to commit themselves to working hard over two years. The Sixth Form also aims to develop other interests and skills - academic, cultural, physical and social. It is a time when the individual can explore ideas and learn to think independently in preparation for university and the professional world. Initiative, creativity and the enhancement of academic and professional skills are encouraged. We hope students will enjoy their time in the Sixth Form and feel able to make contributions to life at the school. Essentially, the Sixth Form provides invaluable preparation for life in the adult world. The strong House system is a key feature of the Sixth Form which helps the students to gain a sense of belonging to a community.
