Sixth Form Taster Sessions
Year 12 Taster Sessions commenced on Monday 8th July, marking the start of an exciting two weeks of exploration into what our Sixth Form has to offer.
This was a valuable opportunity for students to immerse themselves in A-level and vocational courses, providing them with an authentic experience of life at the Basildon Academies Sixth Form.
Throughout the week, students engaged in a diverse array of subjects, showcasing the expertise of our teachers and the extensive resources we offer. We were delighted to receive outstanding feedback, particularly from students who are new to our school. I am eagerly anticipating meeting them all on GCSE results day, when they will officially join our Sixth Form.
If students are still considering a place at the Basildon Academies Sixth Form, they will have a final chance to apply on GCSE results day; Thursday 22nd July.
