GCSE Options -Next Three or Four Years

2008


 

THE NEXT THREE OR FOUR YEARS


You are almost at the end of your time in Key Stage 3 and about to start your last 2 years of compulsory education.  However the majority of you will continue your education voluntarily for one or two more years in the school 6th Form or college. 

Most people choose to come back to the Sixth Form and, building on what they have done in Upper School, work for further qualifications while enjoying the more relaxed atmosphere of Tomlinson Hall.

These are vital years for you.  They should help you to grow into capable adults, ready to become successful partners, parents, workers and citizens.  It is more than ever-important today to learn to become independent and to be able to accept responsibility for what you are and will become.  School is a place for second chances but the world outside is tough.  You need all the education you can get.  Ask any adult what it means to be redundant, to be unemployed - and the value of good qualifications.

As you progress into Key Stage 4 education you are starting on a three or four year course leading to GCSE qualifications in 2010, Vocational Qualifications (G.N.V.Q). or AS levels in 2011 and A2 level qualifications ready for employment or Higher Education in 2012!
