Careers assemblies – providers of different options at post 16
It has been great working with our students over the past few months to help them develop their understanding of different pathways and different schools and colleges.
This Friday, our Year 10 students heard from ASK Apprenticeships in order to learn more about the Apprenticeship route for Post 16 education.
Our students have heard from Leicester College, North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College, Gateway College, SMB College Group and ASK Apprenticeships. With all assemblies, students have then been given the opportunity to ask questions and talk to providers afterwards.
Students also get to hear from local providers in Year 11 when we invite a range of local providers into school and going forwards with our Careers Fair (more information to come soon). We seek to give our students a range of opportunities to engage with different providers of education in order to help students understand all pathways available to them (vocational pathways such as BTEC and T Levels and also Apprenticeships). Going forwards, we are also planning assemblies from a local school which will cover A-level routes, as although information about this is very common, we have had students ask to hear from such providers.
College Open Days and Events – all years
Just a reminder of this from the last newsletter. It is always a good idea to get an idea of what different Post 16 education providers offer. This will help students make good decisions when applying to schools and colleges in year 11.
At this time of year, the colleges have additional open events and these are to allow students with their parents/carers to start thinking about educational choices for their time after Manor High School. We encourage all of our students, especially those in years 9 and 10, to start visiting colleges now. As a result, we have collated some open events for you. Please note, a lot of colleges require you to book onto these events via their website. We have included links for you as well.
It has been a very positive week at Manor High School this week. 92% of points have been positive, with an all-time low for negative points. We started the week with students in tutor time examining our core value of Respect. Tutors discussed how we could all show respect to one another. Over 700 Respect points have been handed out this week, which is really pleasing to see. We ended the week by celebrating the ways we have shown respect. It was a pleasure to deliver the form group of the month reward to W1 this week. They achieved over 600 points in March, which is a stellar effort. Their form tutors, Mrs Muchira and Ms Beckh are very proud of them. The form received biscuits and drinks and a chance to celebrate their successes.
As we head towards the main exam time, it's worth revising how we can support young people at what can be a very stressful time.
