3 Welcome from the Director of Sixth Form A very warm welcome to the Sixth Form at Oaklands Catholic School. Thank you for your interest in exploring us as a possible destination for your post-16 pathway. Deciding your next steps after GCSE can be daunting and I hope you find the following information of use. The course information summaries in this prospectus will give you an idea of the wide range of subjects we offer. Your time in the Sixth Form is a special yet surprisingly short time. It is a bridge between the world of compulsory schooling and university study or employment. You will have many unique opportunities and challenges, but you can be confident that if you join Oaklands Sixth Form you will be guided and supported throughout your journey by highly experienced and committed teachers and support staff. I like to refer to us as the Sixth Form with a soul and this can be read in variety of ways. On one level it is an acknowledgement of our Catholic ethos which is the bedrock of all we do. This is reflected in our commitment to love and service and this is something you will benefit from on a daily basis. As a smaller Sixth Form we are also a close community and this means each individual is known and cherished. You will see this manifest in many ways, not least of which will be in the close relationship you will forge with your tutor and the wider Sixth Form team. I do hope you will also be able to join us for some of our open day events which will be advertised on our website. In the meantime, please do feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions or to arrange an informal visit. I wish you every success with your current studies and look forward to meeting you soon. Dave Godwin, Director of Sixth Form Please note that whilst our prospectus outlines a wide range of subjects we have recently offered, we reserve the right not to run a particular course in any given year depending upon demand and staffing.
