Sixth Form Post 18 Day

Sixth Form - Post 18 Day - Thursday 5th June

We are always encouraging our students to DREAM - BELIEVE - ACHIEVE and Term 5 and 6 for Year 12, specifically, has been focused on 'choices and thinking ahead'. Students are encouraged and supported to think about what plans and dreams they wish to explore once they leave Sixth form (post 18). We invited various speakers in to talk to the year group; lots of information was shared on their various choices, so they can make the right decision for them personally. The day was finished off with students passionately researching and exploring the options they are interested in.

A special thank you to all our guest speakers:

John Allen, Bluewire Hub - Being an entrepreneur
Sheffield Hallam - What is a degree apprenticeship?
Rachel Fox (Alumni) - My degree apprenticeship
University of Lincoln - Choosing the right degree and making the most of open days
University of Northampton - Student finance and student life
Andrew Miller, Lincoln College Oxford - Applying to Oxford or Cambridge
Richard Poole, Unison - World of work
Gap Year 360 - Gap Years
University of Lincoln - Personal statements and UCAS process

Mini Careers Fair

On Wednesday 7th May we had our final 'mini' careers fair of the year. This one focused on 'caring professions' and we had over 20 businesses and universities for our students to interact with. We are particularly grateful to the local businesses who took time out of their day to talk with our students - Ruby Hook Hairdressers, The Beauty Works, R. Simpson Physiotherapy, Towcester Leisure Centre, Towcester Vets and Happy Hounds.

If you think you would like to be involved in a future careers event, do get in touch with us: careers@sponne.org.uk We are always happy to accommodate visits by employers and would love to hear from any alumni.
