Weekly Updates from The Island VI Form

I would like to start off by congratulating all our Travel and Tourism and Criminology students who completed their exams this week, an excellent effort well done. This week we also had English and Maths resits back. Well done to all those students who have passed their exams. 

On Wednesday, the equal consideration day deadline passed for UCAS. This means that any application for UCAS, although applications will be considered, it will not be until all other applications are looked at. 

We are starting to interview our next year's cohort of Year 12's. We have already had nearly 160 applications. Applications close at the end of March, so if you know anyone who is thinking of applying, please encourage them to do this asap. There is still an opportunity to book a visit to look round the VI Form if needed. More information here

Finally, tickets for our Year 13 Prom have gone on sale. This will be held on the 9th July at Landguard Manor in Shanklin. If students want to attend, please purchase your ticket through arbor. Payments can be made in instalments, if needed.

Have a lovely weekend!

ADHD Assembly

On Tuesday and Thursday this week Sarah Hussey from Possibilities and Perspectives Education gave assemblies to the Yr12s and Yr13s on the topic of ADHD. Sarah spoke powerfully about her own experiences with ADHD and some of the common myths about the condition. She offered the students a window into what life was like with ADHD and the different challenges that the condition presented, whilst also illustrating the successful life stories of many she had met with the condition. Sarah has offered to meet and speak with students individually about ADHD should they so wish.
