"As well as experiencing sample lessons in the subjects youngsters are thinking about taking from September, they can find out more about our unique specialism of entrepreneurship and the many opportunities it leads to which you are unlikely to find at other sixth form providers.

"There will also be opportunities for them to learn about the wide range of sporting and cultural enrichment opportunities and additional qualifications on offer in the sixth form.

"They will also find out more about the excellent in depth advice and assistance we provide to help them plan for what you want to do after the sixth form, especially if you are thinking about applying for university.
