In Year 13 our focus from September to December is UCAS, apprenticeships, CV writing and interview skills.

From January onwards we want each of our Year 13 students to have a very specific mentoring session.  This means the personal development slot is used for academic mentoring sessions on a one-to-one basis.  This includes discussion around study skills, attendance, future dreams, and current performance.
