How to choose a Sixth Form in Leeds, Yorkshire

The open event for potential sixth formers takes place on 9th November

A Yorkshire school is hosting an open event, so the upcoming 2023 sixth form intake can meet the team, tour the facilities, and choose the education setting that is right for them.

Students and their families are invited to the Benton Park Sixth Form open event on November 9, from 6-8pm.

The school prides itself in creating a climate for great learning, success and opportunity.

Nik Skilton, Headteacher, is proud of the community at Benton Park. “We are a school that will do whatever it takes to ensure that every student achieves their full potential. This is reflected in our clear and strong vision to create a climate for great learning, success and opportunity for our students, which is driven by our very high expectations, standards and aspirations for all within our community.

“We have an experienced Sixth Form team who from the very start support our young people to make the right choices to ensure they can fulfil their potential. We challenge our students to achieve their very best and as well as strong academic support we offer them a wide range of enrichment opportunities to ensure they enjoy a fulfilling future.

“We offer a wide range of courses at A Level and delivered by experienced teachers, and supported by research led practice. The enrichment experiences we offer make sure our students have a broad and balanced experience.”

Oliver Wharton, Assistant Headteacher, Post-16 & Careers added: “We are incredibly proud of our thriving Sixth Form. Each year our students secure strong onward destinations enabling them to fulfil their potential. We are warm and welcoming and each year students join us from other institutions and settle quickly into our community. Our pastoral systems are rated highly by our students, who develop close working relationships with their personal tutors. We are investing in the future of our Sixth Form, developing the facilities to ensure that the students have their own spaces to work and learn as well as socialise with their peers. All our students have the opportunity to contribute to our school community through mentoring in the main school and through their enrichment programmes. This together with the high quality teaching we offer really does make Benton Park a Sixth Form of choice.

“We are proud to be at the heart of our local community and our work is dedicated to ensuring that our young people leave us equipped to take up their place and be successful in the 21st century.”
