Sixth Form Applications for Sept 2017

26th January 2017Mr M Simpson

Any student wishing to apply for entry into our Sixth Form should complete this online application form.

Students should check the entry requirements in the Post 16 prospectus first and then check that combinations of subjects are possible using this latest option pool document. Students should choose one subject from each of the four option columns, even if you intend to only follow three A Levels.

46 Points

The online application will ask you if you are predicted 46 points or not (see prospectus about how to calculate). The range of subject choices will depend on your answer. If your prediction suggests you will narrowly miss 46 points, then click that you have 46 points to give you access to the full range of subjects. Following your GCSE results in August, if you do not achieve 46 points an interview, with a member of the 6th form team, will take place on the 5 September to discuss which subjects are possible.

Bridging Week will take place during the week beginning 10 July, where students will try their chosen subjects for a week.

Following GCSE results in August, all students should confirm their final subject choices using an online form which will be available on our website on results day.

External Applicants

If you would like a personal discussion and a tour of the school, please contact us via our email, kevi@the3rivers.net.

We will send out further information during the year, but we would expect you to attend Bridging Week and a presentation afternoon on Friday 7 July.

 

 

National Performance Tables 2016

20th January 2017Mr M Simpson

Level Results 2016Once again the National Performance Tables show that King Edward’s remains very strong at both GCSE and A Level.

At GCSE King Edward’s were amongst the top performing schools in the North East region for the key attainment measures of 5A*-C and A*-C for English and Maths combined.

At A Level we had another extremely successful year for Value Added, which measures the progress each student makes from their GCSE starting point to their A Level results. Our figure of 0.26 places us in the top 10 for all schools in the North East region, including independent schools.

Very well done to all staff and students for their hard work and dedication.

The secondary school performance tables can be found here.

The A Level performance tables can be found here.

The Outsider

17th January 2017Mrs K Shutler

`Book of the week is recommended by Mr Hutton: ‘The Outsider’ by Albert Camus.

“I found this book in a job lot for a few pence. It turned out I had a classic written by the French author Albert Camus. I read it through in a few sittings on holiday.’The Outsider’ is about a French Algerian, Mersault, a man who seems emotionally detached from the events of the world around him and whose life in the pleasant Mediterranean sun is dramatically changed by a tragic chain of events.The novel is both simple and profound, thought provoking and haunting; well worth the read. “
