Sixth Form

The Academy is pleased to announce that our new sixth form will be opening in September 2010 and will provide opportunities for Post 16 students to study both vocational and academic pathways, to assist them on the road to Higher Education and provide a head-start towards a career.

"Hi, my name is Mr Woodville and I am Assistant Principal in charge of Post 16 Education at Oasis Academy Brightstowe.

"I have recently come from a school in Wiltshire, where I was Director of Post 16 Learning, and am thrilled and excited to be helping the Academy plan for their new sixth form, which I feel is a key part of the school's transformation.

"It will require strategic planning to get the sixth form off the ground and we are very keen to ensure that it is a consultative process, so that we offer students the courses that are right for their future.

"We hope to offer vocational and academic qualifications with an emphasis on our Academy specialism of ICT and Mathematics. A list of available courses and entry guidelines will be published nearer the time of opening.

"Until then, we will be listening closely to the requirements of the current Year 11, supporting them with relevant and individual careers advice and matching their needs with our aspirations.

"The sixth form will be open to anyone. It is hoped that many existing students will wish to stay on and we are keen to welcome students from schools in the surrounding area."
