Welcome to Backwell Sixth Form

As Year 11 students, I hope that you are excited at the prospect of having more choice over your curriculum and being able to specialise in subjects that really interest you. If you choose to join Backwell Sixth Form you will be joining a thriving community; you will have teachers who are talented, inspirational, and committed and you will study alongside students who are intelligent, creative and dedicated. The purpose of this course booklet is to give you a clear insight into the wide range of courses that we offer and to help you make the right choices for your future plans. Please do join us at our Open Evening on Thursday 23 October from 5.00 pm to 7.15 pm where you will have the opportunity to talk to subject leaders and current students. Please also remember that whilst your subjects will be at the heart of your Sixth Form experience, your success, the development of your skills and your enjoyment will often go beyond the curriculum. Please look at our “10 reasons to choose Backwell Sixth Form” (Backwell Sixth Form website) for more information about life at Backwell Sixth Form. At Backwell Sixth Form we are proud of the fact that our students make above national average progress in their studies. We help our sixth formers to achieve the academic excellence that enables them to attain places on very competitive Post-18 courses, not only at Higher Education institutes such as Oxford or Cambridge, but also on highly sought after apprenticeships or employment. We are thrilled that Backwell Sixth Formers overwhelmingly achieve a place at their first choice of university and that no student leaves Sixth Form without a clear intended destination. We believe in an inclusive, comprehensive approach
