Pathway 2

As part of your preparation for Post 16 we are asking all Year 11 students who have received a letter 1 to participate in our Step Up to Sixth Form Programme which will commence from Monday 7th June. Starting Year 12, can be challenging for some students so this programme will give you a real insight into how to become a successful Sixth Form student here at Derby Moor.  Week one will focus on you developing the skills and mind set which are essential for post 16 study, whilst week two onwards will provide you with a real opportunity to explore the content of your chosen courses.

It is really important that all subject related tasks are completed and are uploaded to the Show My Homework platform.
