On Tuesday 3rd June, Goodwin Academy will be open to year 11, year 12 and year 13 students only. These groups have been prioritised due to being exam year groups. All year 11, 12 and 13 students are expected to attend Goodwin Academy on this day.
Revision exam classes will be timetabled for all students in these three year groups to support them in preparation for their exams. External GCSE and A Level exams scheduled for this day will run as normal.
Online learning will be set on Microsoft Teams for students in years 7 to 10. This will be set on Monday ready for pupils to access on Tuesday.
We will operate a small provision for students identified as vulnerable learners.
The transition from GCSEs to 6th Form is a big step – in some ways it is greater than that from Level 3 BTEC/ A-Levels into university, apprenticeships or employment – and so it is important to get your mind-set correct before you start the courses in Year 12.
The bridging tasks are designed to support students making the step up to sixth form study and give them a better insight into Post-16 education. They contain tasks and guidance to support the transition and help ensure that the switch is made successfully.
The tasks should be brought to your first lesson in each subject in September, you should also be prepared to be assessed on the tasks that you have been asked to complete.
