Our Sixth Form
I am delighted to welcome your son/daughter to Neston High School Sixth Form. At Neston, we pride ourselves in creating a Sixth form experience which sets students on a successful pathway for their future lives. The Sixth Form team work closely alongside a committed and experienced team of teachers and tutors to ensure that students achieve academically and are offered unique opportunities to develop personally.
At Neston we offer students programmes to support with UCAS, apprenticeships and employment, which will support, and challenge students in building an academic and personal profile which develops outstanding leadership qualities, allowing them to fulfil their potential to be the very best they can be. Students are offered the chance to complete an EPQ, join the Pathways Programme, as well as attend the Villier’s Park future leaders programme, Lucy Cavendish Academic Attainment Programme any many more. We encourage students to participate in relevant work experience placements to enhance and develop personal skills and make a contribution to society. Sixth Form students are expected to build upon the excellent relationships forged in lower school through engagement in the literacy and numeracy intervention programmes as well as student leadership opportunities and to act as a role model for younger students.
Our students have access to a Sixth Form Study Room where they can work independently in study periods, this space includes independent work booths, group work tabled, study desks and a range of laptop and touch screen desk top computers. Students also have access to ‘The Bistro’ where a range of hot foods and drinks are provided. This is an exciting time to be studying at Neston High School.
Outstanding support and guidance is a key feature of our Sixth Form and students’ attendance and academic progress is closely monitored to facilitate outstanding progress. As a parent/carer we will keep you updated with your son/daughter’s progress and invite you to contact the school should you have any concerns. We do not underestimate the importance of building strong relationships with parents and feel that it is vital to work together to best support our students. Whilst supporting students is integral to their success, we expect students to take an independent approach to their learning and take responsibility in their time management, organisation, attendance and progress in lessons. At Neston High School Sixth Form, we are excited to work with our sixth form students in their transition into adulthood and encourage every student to embrace opportunity and fulfil their potential, to enable them to maximise their potential and reach high quality destinations.
