Sixth Form Life

"Pupils play a highly positive role in supporting the school community. They value opportunities to take on leadership roles and develop their confidence in public speaking."

 

Within Sixth Form life at Trinity there are opportunities to take on leadership roles through mentoring, running clubs and as part of the Prefect team. The Head Girl, Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl & Deputy Head Boy are selected at Easter during Year 12 to allow the current Year 13 team to focus on their final exams. Students in these positions lead the Prefect team and meet regularly with staff and the school leadership team to forge a vital link between the student body and staff. They have a high profile role, visiting and talking with lower school tutor groups and representing the school meeting with external visitors. The current team leaders are;

Work Experience

During terms 5 and 6 Year 12 students are encouraged to seek work experience placements whether in blocks of time or smaller placements across the term. We believe this is essential in providing students with the depth of knowledge needed to write excellent applications to universities or apprenticeships/jobs. 

Upon returning to school, students reflect on their week and give feedback on their experience.
