Trinity

has a dynamic, creative

and successful Sixth Form. Housed

in the Carliol Building, the Sixth Form Centre

provides an ideal learning environment for young

adults. The Sixth Form is a separate area and operates like a

college within a school.

With around 350 students, Trinity Sixth Form is one of the largest

school sixth forms in Cumbria attracting many students from other

local schools and even further aeld, and is a tribute to the excellent work

being done by both students and sta.

We currently offer students a choice of over 35A Level and Level 3 BTEC

courses, both academic and vocational. We provide a great deal of support

through our Pathways system to ensure that students are on courses which

are appropriate to their abilities and ambitions.

Whether you are currently at Trinity School or considering joining us from

elsewhere, we hope that you will nd opportunities that are right for you

with us.

SuccessfulWe are proud that students achieve highly at

Trinity Sixth Form and that over 76% of students

go on to the university of their choice, 26% of which

were top Russell Group universities in 2014. Our well

qualied and experienced sta know how to support

and guide students through the post 16 education

process and OfSTED described pastoral care

as exemplary.

SupportEach student belongs to a tutor group of about 20-25

students. Form tutors work with each student individually to

support their learning and monitor progress by having regular

mentoring sessions. Each tutor group is supported by a Student

Manager, who is responsible for overseeing this process.

As young adults, Sixth Form students need to be given the chance to take on

more responsibility for their learning. At the same time, we recognise that the

transition to independence is not an easy one and therefore, we provide clear

guidance about our expectations of behaviours, study habits and attendance.

have chosen, primary teaching. This is

something I have wanted to do since the age

of four and with the great support from Trinity

School I am finally going to be

able to achieve this.

Following a successful interview I am going to

be attending Liverpool Hope University in

September and although I am going to miss

Trinity I know that from them I have gained

very important life skills."

"People always debate over the

importance of school. But in my

opinion I believe that education is what sets you forlife. I am currently studying IT, business, and mediawhich are all BT ECs . In my first year I acquired thegrades of three distinctions*. I felt that I chose theright subjects in terms of academic value and how

enjoyable they are.

Trinity has helped me achieve my full potential.Their support is incomparable and has made me into

the person I am today."

The environment of the sixth form makes it

really easy to talk to teachers and to get extra

help. The sixth form has provided mewith a lot of opportunities and a lot

of memories."
