Our Sixth Form   Celebration/Concern   Pastoral Care   Prospectus   SST   Surveys   UCAS

The majority of students follow traditional Advanced Level courses which can lead to University entrance.  In Year 12, most pupils take 4 ‘AS’ level courses (Some students can take up to 5 ‘AS’ level courses) and then follow A2 courses in year 13.,  Key Skills and enrichment programmes are also offered to broaden students’ development.

The Sixth Form has its own Student Management Committee to consult on important issues and a thriving social life.  It also plays a large part in the life of the school through charitable work.  Some students take the opportunity to work with younger pupils on supported-reading, Physical Education and other individual skill areas.  This excellent experience is valued by Higher Education establishments and employers.

At North Chadderton Sixth Form we have considerable experience in helping students achieve their potential and in preparing them for success beyond the Sixth Form.  The advantage of a school with a Sixth Form rests in the quality of the relationships between the students, their parents and the staff.  Keeping everybody informed is of paramount importance.

Careers Guidance

Work Related Learning forms part of the Personal Development Programme for all pupils from Year 7 onwards.  We have a close partnership with Oldham Connexions Service which includes:

  • An individual interview in Year 11 which parents can attend,

  • A Personal Action Plan,

  • An entitlement to Work Experience,

  • Specialist advice in KS5 for higher education and possible career paths,

  • A careers base and adviser in school,

  • Developing links with local industries and employers, and…..

  • Access to the Aim Higher programme designed to encourage future aspirations.

This provision for Work Related Learning results in a positive relationship within the community.  The provision of advanced study in ICT and e-learning, combine to provide students with a firm foundation for careers in the 21st century.

We are proud of our students’ impressive record of success when they leave North Chadderton.  Many students progress to further or higher education.  Others go directly into training or employment, covering a wide range of occupations.
