Year 13 Leavers' Breakfast and Ball

Thursday 4th July marked an emotional and thoroughly enjoyable final chapter in the lives of Clevedon Sixth Form's Year 13. In celebration of their time at Clevedon School and the conclusion of their A Level exams the students were invited to a farewell breakfast, held at the Sixth Form Center in the morning and then their leavers' Ball at Clevedon Hall.

On arrival at the Hall students and their parents were welcomed by Hector, the barista van, for a champagne reception, which was followed by a three course dinner and dance. Everyone had a really enjoyable time as they came together: looked back on their memorable time at Clevedon and looked ahead to what may happen in the coming months and years. It was truly a lovely evening.

Clevedon Sixth Form at the University of Cambridge

Clevedon Sixth Form students completed their HE+ programme with a two day visit to the University of Cambridge. The year long programme involved the students meeting with fellow year 12 students from across North Somerset at the Kings of Wessex School, Cheddar. The students aspire to attend Oxbridge and the HE+ programme provides an in depth look into the two prestigious universities' entry requirements and processes, as well as what students can look forward to if they are successful in their applications.

Clevedon Pastoral Parliament

Clevedon's Sixth Form and Student Leadership Team hosted and chaired the school's annual Pastoral Parliament in which students from across the school discussed topics including school uniform, litter and the tutor programme.

This outstanding example of student voice, in which all those present had the opportunity to share their opinions and views, will help shape Clevedon School's future discussion around these key areas.

Clevedon Sixth Form Futures Week and Post 18 Pathyways

Clevedon's Year 12 students have begun their 2019 Futures Week in preparation for their Post 18 Pathways. The week began with guests from the University of Bath presenting workshops to the year group on how to prepare their Personal Statements and applications for university, apprenticeships and careers. By the end of the day students had created a draft version of their Personal Statements which have been shared today with guest interviewers from the world of work and academia.

Students have arrived in formal wear to discuss their future aspirations with guests who have been identified based on their specific  academic and career interests. Students will finish the week with three days of work experience as they prepare and gain exposure to their potential career paths. 

Parents were also given the opportunity to attend a Post 18 Pathways Information Evening on the 27th June to discover how the UCAS process will work for their daughters and sons and discover the alternative options at Post 18. The presentation, partly delivered by the University of Bath, can be viewed here.
