Little Heath Sixth Form

Welcome back,

I hope that you had a restful half term. A few things for the week ahead please.

1. We have a joint formal assembly with the Upper Sixth on Tuesday in the Main Hall at 1.20. Please be prompt as there is a lot to get through.

2. Remember that the mentoring system starts properly now. You no longer have the Monday and Thursday afternoon sessions, and you should have a weekly time and venue agreed with your mentor. If you have slipped through the net please see you mentor as a matter of urgency. Remember that it is your responsibility to be there on time.

3. Sincere  thanks to the people who have agreed to sell poppies. It is appreciated. If you still wish to get involved with this, then please come and see me.

4. Above all, please note that this is a really busy half term, and what we are asking of you will be increasing. The key remains the quantity and quality of your independent study. Your mocks will be coming round very quickly indeed. You must be doing three to four hours a day outside the classroom. There are no shortcuts.

Have a good half term and work hard please.

Mr Kydd.

All,

A few things for the week ahead please.

1. First and foremost please ensure that you finish the half term strongly. Staff continue to say very nice thing to me about the professional approach that you are bringing to your studies. However, there are a lot of deadlines are coming up, and it is essential that the work that you hand in is of the quality that is required.
2. On Wednesday lunchtime Mr Hand will be running a Sixth Form debate.  The details are below, but you are very welcome to attend. It is obviously particularly helpful to would-be lawyers.  The motion is “This house believes that in some jobs, workers should not be allowed to go on strike.” 
3. To confirm the switch to mentoring proper kicks in after haf term. From Tuesday 5th November the The AM, Monday and Thursday sessions end. Instead you will have one weekly 15 minute meeting in a group of two or three with your mentor to discuss your academic progress. Individual 1 -to – 1 meetings are available on request. This week we need two things from you. We need you to agree your groups and a mutually convenient time / location with your mentor.

Finally enjoy the long half term. Big challenges lie ahead for November and December, so rest up and come back both refreshed and completely up to date. 

Mr Kydd.
