On Thursday 17th November, students in Year 11 had the opportunity to take part in a series of workshops and presentations delivered by outside agencies in order to develop their CV writing skills, and find out more about applying for Post 16 and College places after Year 11.
Monday 7th through to Friday 11th November was Enrichment week at Parkside Studio College. During the course of the week students in Years 9 and 10 took part in a range of intervention and booster sessions which were carried out to further support them. Our Year 11 students were offered revision sessions in preparation for their upcoming trial examinations. Support was also offered to those students whose English is a second language to access our curriculum more easily.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable and highly productive week for all.
