Last night, we welcomed Year 11 students exploring their post-16 options to our Wickersley Sixth Form Open Evening.
It was fantastic to see such a brilliant turnout, with so many prospective students and their families joining us to discover how Wickersley Sixth Form can support them on the next stage of their academic journey.
Guests were invited to a presentation from our Senior Leadership Team, offering a closer look at life at Wickersley Sixth Form. The talk highlighted the personalised support our students receive throughout their studies, how we prepare them for university, apprenticeships, or employment, and the guidance available to help them make informed decisions about their future.
Following the presentation, visitors explored our Options Fair, where every subject had a dedicated stand. Teaching staff and current Sixth Form students were on hand to answer questions about course content, entry requirements, and the opportunities each subject can unlock.
“Coming tonight has given me a better idea of what Sixth Form life is really like. Speaking to the current students made me feel a lot more confident about choosing my subjects for next year.” – Y11 St Bernard’s Student
“I loved being able to talk to the teachers and find out more about the courses I’m interested in. Everyone was so welcoming, and it’s definitely made Wickersley Sixth Form my first choice.” – Y11 Wickersley School and Sports College Student
Mrs Cruise, Head of Wickersley Sixth Form, said: “We were thrilled to welcome so many students and families to our Open Evening. Seeing the enthusiasm from Year 11 students planning their next steps is always a highlight of our calendar. At Wickersley Sixth Form, we are hugely proud of our academic track record – not only achieving some of the highest A-level grades in Rotherham, but ranking among the very best in South Yorkshire. Thank you to everyone who came along, and to our staff and student ambassadors for making the night such a success. We look forward to welcoming you in September!”
