PoSt SIXtEEN ProSPECtuS

the Sixth Formthe Sixth Form at Cator Park School is a vibrant, diverse

community of young people. our aim is to stimulate students

to achieve the very best they can whilst developing confident,

talented individuals. all students are valued equally and our

tutor groups are mixed ability. Each year, under the guidance of

highly qualified and committed staff, students follow a variety of

courses that will prepare them for university, Further Education

or employment. this specialist and personalised provision

has helped our Sixth Form students achieve consistently high

standards in recent years. Sixth Formers have exclusive access to

supervised study areas, the library and It provision as well as a

large common room area and kitchen. they also enjoy use of our

new facilities, such as the fitness suite, conference rooms, drama,

dance and multi-track recording studios.

the Curriculumour wide and innovative curriculum is underpinned by state of

the art IT. We offer an extensive and flexible range of traditional

and applied aS and a2 courses. Students can also enter the Sixth

Form to study Level 2 BtEC courses and take resit classes in core

GCSE subjects.

We are committed to excellent teaching and learning across

the Sixth Form curriculum and both are rigorously assessed

and monitored.

The extended project qualification is well established to support

students’ applications to the most sought after universities.

Students completing a Level courses make excellent progress.” – Ofsted“

Welcome from the HeadteacherDear Student,

thank you for your interest in a place in our Sixth Form. I am very proud

indeed of all the opportunities offered to our students at Cator Park

School and their outstanding achievements. our students are friendly and

highly motivated. they are supportive of one another. they are polite and

respectful towards other members of the school community and their

teachers care a great deal about their academic progress and general

wellbeing. they are exciting, ambitious and motivated and a pleasure to

be with. I am in no doubt that they are indeed the leaders of tomorrow.

I wish you every success with your application,

Enrichmentour Sixth Form offers extensive opportunities for students to

take on responsibilities which make intellectual, social and moral

demands of them. the students are a strong positive presence

within the school, leading the active Student Council, undertaking

prefect duties, supporting younger students in their lessons,

taking part in the many extra-curricular opportunities offered

or helping lead clubs and charity events. Social and fund raising

activities provide an opportunity for team building and fun as

well as relaxation away from the pressures of academic study.

the strong international dimension to our curriculum was

recognised when we became the first school in the area to

gain the British Council’s International School award. We have

many overseas partners in Europe, asia and africa. Students

also embark on foreign travel to places as varied as uganda,

tanzania, thailand, China and India through our well-established

World Challenge scheme.

Pastoral Care and Guidancethe Sixth Form is supported by a strong pastoral system staffed

by some of the most experienced staff in the school. Every

student is allocated a tutor. through regular monitoring and

reporting procedures, tutors support and challenge their tutees

as necessary. the tutors play vital roles in the induction process

at the beginning of each year and through the university or

careers application process.

Your teaching and learning grade indicates an outstanding level of overall performance.” – ALPS
