KCA Sixth Form

Finally all our A Level students got the grades they deserved today. One of the nicer jobs was to let them all know that their hard work had paid off. Just waiting for updates on BTEC qualifications that should come through next week.

Well done year 11 on your results today, don’t forget if you have any questions about KCA 6th Form contact Ms Foster.

Thank you KCA staff for all you help and support you have given year 13’s they couldn’t do it without you. (And neither could I)

One of the most pleasing things for me is the increase numbers wanting to go to university when they leave KCA. This year the subject choices have become even more varied. Over the last 4 years raising the aspirations of our students is one of my greatest achievement.

I am really proud Head of Sixth Form. This year has been a really tough year and yet year 13 you took it in your stride. Even with the strange situation today you still kept smiling. So good to see you today, go through your plans and have a good laugh, going to miss you.

Well a very strange year comes to an end and the school break for summer. I look forward to seeing year 13 on 13th to get their results. Year 12 it’s time to recharge and for me it’s time to enjoy the summer ready for my retirement at the end of August.

So lovely to hear from ex students and how they are doing. It makes me so proud to hear how studying at KCA has helped them gain the skills they have needed to be successful.

This weeks art theme is Britishness.

Plans are well underway for me to be able to offer a face to face meeting with year 12’s after 2nd June, so we can discuss how they are doing and what further support they might need need. Details to follow.

Despite these very strange times we are now working with year 12 to see what their future plans are. Sent an email to all year 12 showing what their options are after 6th form and when we get back all the reply’s we can design a program to support them.

This weeks theme, what you can see from your window

So after a morning of checking in with students to make sure they are OK, I thought it was time to practice some drawing, I have started again after many years, and this was yesterday’s, much better than previous days. Stay safe everyone.

What a very strange day saying goodbye to year 13, no leaving assembly, no end of year event, no exams just lots of questions with few answers. Very odd end to my 4 years as head of sixth form. Stay safe guys and look after yourselves.

Year 12 finance lesson today was looking at the budget and the Bank of England base rate reduction and its impact on people in different life stages. @StudyLIBF #financialeducation

Year 12 mandarin lesson today.

Year 12 Mandarin students have been looking at Chinese culture and have been testing their skills in plate painting and good luck banners. Clearly very talented.

Some great results in finance today, well done Shakti, Isha, Ben and Harjeet on gaining A’s in part B exam and with some targeted resits should get A’s overall for unit 3. @StudyLIBF @Dominic_Vallier

All year 11 students interviewed to make sure they are getting ready for the next stage of their life adventure. Always a nice part of the job talking to them about their aspirations.

Sixth form assembly today on character and rewards. Here are 4 showing courage and trust in their pursuit of a sweet reward. @KCABedford @sebsagnia @Mr_Coakley

Oh this looks like a good way to keep fit and relieve some stress
