It is your chance to RESEARCH different places and courses, and find out what options are best for YOU. Even if you are not thinking of this pathway (for example if you want to do an apprenticeship instead) it is still worthwhile to research colleges as a backup plan; so still try and visit a few places! Before you attend an open evening, it is a good idea to do some research first – check on the college/sixth form website to see if they offer the courses you are interested in – this can also help if you are not sure what courses you want to do yet, so you can see the choices available at each college! You can attend as many open events as you like – in fact, it is a good idea to visit at least 2 or 3 different places so you can make a fair comparison You can bring whoever you like to the open events – family and friends are more than welcome! Make sure you ask lots of questions – for example you might have questions about different courses, about the entry requirements (what GCSE grades you might need) or questions on careers or university. Don’t be afraid to ask at the colleges – they will be happy to help! There is no commitment to apply to a college or sixth form at an open event (applications are usually done in school in November) Careers Advice & Guidance All Y11 pupils will be offered a Careers Guidance Interview with Mrs Richardson, school careers adviser, from September 2019 onwards to discuss future plans after leaving Oasis Academy:MediaCityUK. To request a meeting with Mrs Richardson, students need to request an appointment through Mr Berry. Parents & Carers are also welcome to contact Mrs Richardson in school on any queries by contacting the school on 0161 8866500 or by email – [email protected] .

  • Sixth Form Colleges' Fine Art Exhibition Catalogue
    Sixth Form Colleges’ Fine Art Exhibition Catalogue 17 - 20 March 2014 House of Commons THE ART The AoC Sixth Form Colleges’ Art Exhibition showcases some of the best Fine Art produced by students. The criteria were broad and images were chosen for their aesthetic and technical qualities with the range of entries highlighting the open and inclusive nature of the competition. Art remains an essential part of the curriculum in sixth form colleges and the exhibition celebrates the excellence of their students and the superb staff who teach them. THE ENTRIES We received many hundreds of submissions from students aged between 16 and 18. The entries highlighted not only the quality but also the extraordinary diversity of art in colleges. The entries were shortlisted to 21 images which represent work from 20 sixth form colleges. THE EXHIBITION The art will be on display in the Upper Waiting Hall of the House of Commons from 17 - 20 March, following an official launch. AoC is delighted that the Speaker, Secretary of State for Education, and politicians of all parties are supporting this exhibition, making the occasion even more special for the students and teachers.

  • Regional Profiles North-West 29 ● Cumbria Institute of the Arts Carlisle College__▲■✚ University of Northumbria at Newcastle (Carlisle Campus)
    North-West Introduction The North-West has an area of around 14,000 km2 and a population of over 6.3 million. The metropolitan area of Greater Manchester is by far the most significant centre of population, with 2.5 million people in the city and its wider conurbation. Other major urban areas are Liverpool, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Chester and Carlisle. The population density is 477 people per km2, making the North-West the most densely populated region outside London. However, the population is largely concentrated in the southern half of the region. Cumbria, by contrast, has the third lowest population density of any English county. Economic development The economic output of the North-West is around £78 billion, which is 10 per cent of the total UK GDP. The region is very varied economically, with most of its wealth created in the heavily populated southern areas. Important manufacturing sectors for employment and wealth creation are chemicals, textiles and vehicle engineering. Unemployment in the region is 5.9 per cent, compared with the UK average of 5.4 per cent. There is considerable divergence in economic prosperity within the region. Cheshire has an above average GDP, while Merseyside ranks as one of the poorest areas in the UK. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is around £1,400 million per year. Higher education provision There are 15 higher education institutions in the North-West: eight universities and seven higher education colleges. An additional 42 further education colleges provide higher education courses. There are almost 177,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students in higher education in the region.
