Year 12 Psychology Lessons

November 15, 2023/in General News/by Steve Telford

Some of our yr12 psychology students have been using Skittles to understand ‘sampling’.

The purpose of this activity is to dive deeper into the five sampling methods used within psychology which are: random, opportunity, volunteer, systematic and stratified.

Our yr12 psychology students are also looking after ‘baby’ eggs currently, to also look into attachment theory! Fingers crossed they don’t crack!

Sixth Form Enrichment Afternoon

November 10, 2023/in General News/by Steve Telford

On Thursday 9th November, all of our Sixth Form students took part in the schools afternoon enrichment sessions.

Year 12 students had their sessions tailored around careers, which was a very informative afternoon teaching students about how to write the perfect CV. They also looked at their own ‘personal brand’ and how they present themselves to employers. Then finally year 12 students looked at money and finance when entering the world of work.

Our year 13 students had an informative talk about applying to university and apprenticeships, completing personal statements, UCAS applications and apprenticeship applications.
