Dear Parents/Carers,
Sixth Form Open Evening – Thursday 21st November 2024
I am writing to invite you and your child to the Sixth Form Open Evening, which will take place in our Main Hall at Leigh Academy Halley on Thursday 21st November between 5:00pm and 6.30pm.
This is an exciting time for students to join our Sixth Form (Hawking School). We are proud to be one of the only Ofsted rated “Outstanding” Post-16 providers in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and our Year 13 results in 2023 and 2024 saw students achieve above international averages.
Our Open Evening event will be a great opportunity for you to meet with members of the Sixth Form team to discuss how students are supported academically and pastorally in Years 12 and 13, investigate the different pathways available, and explore the individual subjects on offer with members of the relevant faculties.
Leigh Academy Halley offers four routes in our Sixth Form (more information is available here, in our prospectus):
- An academic/vocational programme through the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IBCP), where students choose a career-related subject and supplement this with two academically rigorous IB Diploma subjects equivalent to 3 or 4 A-Levels. This programme also includes the CP Core, which incorporates four hours per week of personal, interpersonal and professional development.
- An academic programme consisting of International Baccalaureate Diploma subjects, equivalent to 3 or 4 A-Levels.
- A vocational programme, where students study a range of career-related BTEC subjects, equivalent to 3 or 4 A-Levels.
- T Level programmes that combine study in school with a one-day-per-week industry placement.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Academy for this event.
Yours faithfully,
Mr James Cowie
Head of Hawking School
