Beyond Bablake
Our Sixth Form students are all impressive young adults, much praised by the universities they attend and highly sought after by major employers as graduates.
To help them discover where their direction lies, all pupils have access to advice from our experienced Sixth Form team and Careers Department.
Upper Sixth
Participation in our Mock Interview Morning – usually the penultimate Saturday in September – allows pupils to test their interview technique and receive advice from our expert volunteer interviewers.
Help is given on constructing a convincing Personal Statement if pupils are applying via UCAS for a degree.We fully recognise the strengths and advantages of apprenticeships at 16 and 18, and offer advice on alternatives to university.
We work with pupils on an individual basis according to their needs. While our expertise lies with the 11-18 age category, we actively keep in touch with former pupils, offer advice where suitable to former pupils of any age and are always delighted to receive offers of help from former pupils. Our parents too are an invaluable support network.
Lower Sixth
We talk formally to the year regularly in Life Choices: these sessions will usually cover 'The Options at 18', 'Not Going To Uni', 'The University application process' and 'Gap Years' (usually via Gapforce). Coventry University offers us excellent assistance.
After the AS exams are completed, we present formally to the year group about 'Staying Ahead' and invite experts in CV Technique and Personal Statement writing to deliver sessions. We are able to offer an '11 Steps' booklet with plenty of ideas for staying ahead of their rivals. In the final week of the Summer term, all pupils have the opportunity to plan a programme to suit their future beyond Bablake.
