We are here to support you every step along the way to ensure you settle in and make the best start to your time with us at Richard Rose Sixth Form. Whether you are joining us directly from lower school or coming to us from somewhere else, the step up to studying A levels is a daunting one, and being well prepared to make a strong start is the first step in the process.
On behalf of all the Sixth Form Team and the whole school community, we look forward to welcoming you properly soon.
If you have any questions prior to starting in September, feel free to email a member of the Sixth Form leadership team:

Thank you for joining us for our induction day on Thursday 6th July 2023. It was wonderful to see you all and we hope you enjoyed your day.
Please find the information from the day in the Induction Documents section below for your reference.
In the first week we will have further transition assemblies, time with your new tutor group and an assembly from an external provider.
There will be a Y12 welcome Evening for both parents and students in September. At this event we will detail how parents can support students following a level 3 study programme, opportunities and expectations.
At the end of September all teachers will complete an early progress check with a simple grading system to ensure all Y12 students have settled well and made a successful transition to Level 3 study
As discussed on induction day year 12 will have the opportunity to apply to undertake the Extended Project Qualification alongside their chosen level 3 qualifications.
EPQ is an A-level standard standalone qualification designed to extend and develop your abilities beyond the A-level syllabus and prepare for university and future careers.
Give it some thought, then email Miss Snape confirming you are interested in completing an EPQ and broadly what you propose your topic of interest and EPQ title may be.
Miss Snape will contact you in the new term with more details and a deadline to complete a formal application for the EPQ which will be around 4x weeks into the new term
If you are interested but want more information, email Miss Snape caroline.snape@rrca.org.uk
