Brinsworth Academy Sixth Form 03 Sixth Form Life

Life in the sixth form is very different to Y7–Y11 regardless of which school you attended previously. Advanced level courses are very demanding and you will need to manage your study, personal and work life effectively if you are to succeed and progress into higher education.

How many lessons you will have depends on how many subjects you study. You can expect to have 5 hours teaching per subject you have taken and you should aim to match this amount for your own independent learning outside of the classroom.

To support you with your studies the sixth form has excellent facilities. Students have access to a well-equipped sixth form study room where a member of staff can support you with your work. The school day starts at 8:35am and you will be allocated a personal tutor who you will work with on a day to day basis. Tutor sessions are designed to support you and your studies. They give you a chance to have one-to-one tutorials with expert guidance and support.

There are many opportunities for you to develop a healthy CV by getting involved with initiatives such as the sixth form Student Leadership programme, Community Sports Leader Award, transition mentors and student councils.

As the sixth form is part of an 11-18 school, there are opportunities for you to get involved in the wider school community. A rich and varied CV will help you to “Independence is a huge part of sixth form, secure a successful future. the effort you put in is what you'll get back; it's completely up to you.”
