Arrangements for the Final weeks of Year 13
Dear Parents/Carers,
Under normal circumstances, Year 13 would be embarking on a period of independent study leave from the May half term, in advance of their public exams. In the absence of such external exams this year, we will be following the guidance that the Department of Education has issued, regarding that period of time.
Year 13 students will have a weekly timetable of activities consisting of wider, subject-related reading, work-related tasks, PHSE sessions, well-being sessions, and General RE, as well as a wide range of MOOCS and other online courses. Some students may wish to take advantage of virtual events at universities.
Year 13 students will be expected to record the activities they undertake on the Unifrog platform and attend a weekly form time on Thursday afternoons via Teams.
This independent programme will conclude on Friday 25th June 2021.
There will be no expectation for students to be on site after May half term. Sixth Form staff will remain available for any student requiring subject related, pastoral or Post-Sixth Form support.
Our careers officer, Miss McGowan can be contacted via email: e.mcgowan@bishopchalloner.bham.sch.uk
We hope that the relaxing of Covid restrictions will enable us to invite students into college on 25th June for a face-to-face Leavers’ Service of Celebration and refreshments.
There will, in any case, be a short service via Teams on Thursday 27th May.
Once again, I would like to commend our Year 13 students for the resilience, hard work and good humour they have shown in these most challenging of times.
Kind regards
M A Nutt
Associate Principal – Sixth Form
