Sutton Sixth Form Prospectus 2024

CAREERS GUIDANCE We offer bespoke careers and university advice throughout your time with us. We have a designated Key Stage 5 Destinations Leader and careers advisor and we work closely with Shaping Futures to offer expert guidance from CV writing to apprenticeship and university applications. As a sixth form we have outstanding links with local higher institutions who visit our sixth form regularly to help with the UCAS process and offer guidance and support for the next stage of your educational journey. You will be involved in workshops and visit universities who will provide bespoke days tailored to meet the needs of our students. STUDENT BURSARY Students are encouraged to apply for a student bursary if facing financial hardship to stay in full time education. The bursary can be used to help purchase course equipment needed and meet transport costs. Free meals are also available for those who meet the eligibility criteria. SUPPORT AGENCIES We have a monthly visit from outside agencies which students can access as needed. All appointments are treated in the strictest of confidence. Agency support is dynamic and planned with the needs to the cohort in mind. SUPPORT & PASTORAL CARE Our support and pastoral care is based on excellent personal relationships and an overall ethos of mutual respect, openness and care, supported by strong structures. Amid the pressures of Key Stage 5 studies, it is imperative to us that we provide you with an environment in which you can be happy, confident and grow into the person you aspire to be. Our Sixth Form Leadership Team understand the immense demands faced by our students in the world today and we pride ourselves on providing excellent pastoral care. At The Sutton Academy Sixth Form we have a dedicated team of mentors who are here to support you throughout your time with us. Regular mentor meetings allow you the professional and pastoral time to develop your future plan, set personal targets and to help support and guide you on your chosen pathway. Staff will always be on hand to support you with dedicated advice and guidance that will help build your confidence, resilience and independence.
