Yr 13 Transition
The transition programme offers work experience and S.T.A.R. courses to senior students. S.T.A.R courses are run by outside agencies with many courses now being offered by the school.
While on S.T.A.R. courses or work experience, pupils are expected to complete all school requirements as these are to complement, not replace, school subjects.
This course will be available only to those senior students, selected in consultation with parents, House Tutor and careers adviser, who are considered to be at risk of not being fully prepared for entering the workforce or employment training.
