Little Heath Sixth Form

If you speak to admissions tutors about what they want from prospective students the list is long, and of course it varies from discipline to discipline. In subjects like economics,  geography, history, philosophy and politics they often say they want students who are aware of current affairs, and have opinions about them.

More generally, we would hope that you all would take an interest in the news. Such matters should not be the reserve of the humanities. One of the best ways of doing this is to regularly watch debating and discussion programmes like Question Time. This is on on Thursday evenings on BBC1 from 10.35.  It is meant to be balanced between the different views, but be mindful that at times it will make you very angry. This week’s edition can be found here and the programme webpage can be found here .

Give it a go.

Mr Kydd.

Your first task is to bookmark this page, and thereafter you should visit this site at least once a week. Please be clear this an enrichment rather than work site. You will all use this site in slightly different ways. However, the key point is that you do use it regularly to make the most of your time with us. There are two key aspects to it.

1. The newsfeed below this sticky post will have enrichment opportunities for you. These may be from departments (click here for example for the Villers Trust site), or they may be more general (click here for example for the University of Reading study advice centre) . There will also be information posts from us or Careers (ie you won’t know what is going on if you do not look at this site). We also want this to be a place where we celebrate your achievement. This might be sport results, drama and media work or, as above your art work.

2. The pages above this sticky will have all the permanent information that a Sixth Form student will need at Little Heath School. They are really places of reference as and when you need them.
