The purpose of Next Steps Day is to enable Year 11 pupils to experience what it would be like to be at Sixth From or College to help inform their decision when they finish their GCSE’s. It will be taking place on Thursday 24th November. Pupils have had the opportunity to decide whether they would like to attend Barr Beacon Sixth Form or Sutton Coldfield College.
At Barr Beacon Sixth Form, pupils will be welcomed by the senior five. They will be invited to a question-and-answer session where they will have the opportunity to ask current students questions about next year. During the day they will experience six different A level and BTEC taster sessions which they have chosen.
Those students who have decided to go to Sutton Coldfield College will have a presentation with the Vice Principal and have a taster session for a course which they would like to experience. They will have the opportunity to ask questions about college life and gain a better understanding of what courses Sutton Coldfield College offer.
