SIXTH FORM INFORMATION EVENING – 6th FEBRUARY 2025
This event falls at a time when it may be clearer what subjects a student is looking to take at A Level. We encourage you to join us to make the most of our A Level Subject Specialists. This is a great opportunity to find out more about each course and discuss the syllabus in more depth. This evening provides plenty of opportunities to ask bespoke questions, talk to Subject Teachers and current A level Students and discuss any individual requirements you may have. The Sixth Form Leadership Team will also be on hand to answer general and more specific enquires. You will also get a great sense of the wider impact Tarporley Sixth Form will have on the student and how it successfully differentiates itself from lower school.

SIXTH FORM INDUCTION CONWAY RESIDENTIAL – SEPTEMBER 2025
As part of our Sixth Form Induction Programme, students visit the Conway Centre for three days. This is a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers in the natural environment in order to explore and develop a range of essential interpersonal and leadership skills. Students participate alongside their Tutor in a range of activities from water sports to public speaking. It is also an opportunity to mix socially, form new friendships and begin their preparations for their forthcoming studies. Our students come away with some great study tips, lots of useful information and of course plenty of memories. It is a chance to set high aspirations and look forward to the exciting two years ahead.
