We are writing to invite you and your daughter / son to our Sixth Form Open Evening on Tuesday, November 1st. This is an important event in the educational life of all our students and we look forward to welcoming you.

You will have the opportunity to attend a brief presentation with the Principal, Mr Joseph and the Sixth Form Director, Mr Travers and to tour our subject stands and speak to teachers about the Post 16 courses on offer at Brockhill Park. Our Assistant Sixth Form Directors, Mrs Mandis and Mrs Paynter will also be on hand with our Sixth Form Learning Mentor, Ms Hoy to answer any questions you may have.

There will be 2 presentations:

This is an important time for your daughter or son, and deciding on their next steps can be an overwhelming experience for young people. We will work hard to ensure this is not the case and that all our students approach the future with confidence. 

Here, at Brockhill we guide our Year 11 students through the many choices available. Post 16 choices need careful consideration as students can choose to stay on at school, attend college or enrol on an apprenticeship scheme.  Now, is absolutely the right time to start thinking about these choices. 

You can help your daughter or son by starting to talk to them about where they see themselves studying when they have completed their GCSE studies, if they intend to progress on to university post 18, and what type of subject areas or careers they may be interested in. 

We always tell our students that nothing is set in stone now and the best way forward is to explore all their options. 

We have a successful, friendly, and high achieving Sixth Form here at Brockhill.  Many of our students progress to university and those that do not, find gainful employment or apprenticeships.  We are proud of the work that we do in the Sixth Form and proud of the outcomes of our students. 

We would very much like to welcome your daughter or son into our Sixth Form in September 2023 to continue their educational journey with us.  Please see our prospectus as a guide to what is on offer here at Brockhill.

Yours sincerely

Charles Joseph                                                                 Ben Travers

Principal                                                                            Sixth Form Director
