Enrichment

Enrichment

Sixth Form students at Caldicot are afforded a broad range of enrichment experiences which support their applications to university or future employment. We strongly encourage all sixth form students to fully embrace these opportunities to strengthen progression to the life after Year 13. These experiences include

Active School Community Involvement All Sixth Form students complete volunteering work to support our school community in Year 12 and many choose to continue this in Year 13. Opportunities available include:

  • RAG committee Students who are members of our Raising and Giving Committee meet on a regular basis to plan exciting whole school events to raise money for local and national charities. Each year many different activities take place, ranging from whole day activities supporting ‘Children in Need’, to coffee mornings supporting the MacMillan Cancer Support Charity. The purpose of this commitment, to supporting charities, is part of a wider remit of Sixth Form education in the hope that students will develop a greater understanding of the needs of others, both close to Caldicot and other worthy national and global causes.
  • Mentoring Programmes Students involved take on a mentoring role to younger students. This can be through academic mentoring where they provide in lesson support, acting in a teaching assistant capacity, for a specific subject or as a peer mentor, providing wellbeing support or friendship to a specific student.
  • Wider initiatives Further opportunities include acting as form-time buddies. Students are attached to a Year 7 or Year 8 form to be a source of advice for younger students or working with their peers who are based in the Nurcombe Centre.

Leadership Development: Several opportunities exist for students to develop their leadership skills.

  • Student Leadership Team In Year 13, students can apply to become a member of our Student Leadership Team. Whilst a small number of Senior Students act as ambassadors for our school, additional leadership roles are also available to lead our RAG committee, Rights Respecting Schools and we also appoint Heads of House to lead our school house system.
  • Co-curriculum leaders Students lead and support the running of many of our co-curricular clubs and societies for students in Years 7-11 such as afterschool sports clubs, homework help clubs and lunchtime board game clubs
  • Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme Every year a large number of students take up the chance to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award in year 12, there is no requirement to have completed the Silver Award and this experience develops a broad array of skills.
  • Sixth Form Forum Students interested in politics, advocacy and affecting change can use their voice to represent the student body in our sixth form forum by nominating themselves and being part of our democratic election process.

Higher Education, Careers and Employability

We host a large Careers Fayre every year which provides students with opportunities to meet with representatives from, universities, businesses, apprenticeship providers, the military, protective services and much more.

Additionally, we have an extensive programme of support including visits to UCAS events, university and apprenticeship talks, subject focused careers talks, collaborative programmes with universities and much more. You can learn more here.

Cultural and Social Events

We believe in “work hard, play hard!” It is important that as well as being great students, that you enjoy your time in sixth form too. We have special designated areas in school exclusively for sixth form students so they can socialise at breaktimes and we hold events throughout the year such as Bake Offs, quizzes and sports matches to entertain us. We also have a range of visits and trips available, these vary but often include visits to New York, Cern in Geneva, European Christmas markets and different universities across the UK.
