YEAR 13 LEAVERS’ DAY
On Friday 27th May, Great Marlow School said goodbye to the Year 13 students on their final day of school ever!
The students arrived at school in an array of fancy dress costumes ranging from hippies to inflatable morph suits. Despite the high spirits behaviour was, of course, impeccable.
The year group were treated to a free ice-cream from a van hired for the occasion then were ushered into the hall for a small gift and their final assembly; the assembly was full of memories, laughter and embarrassing photos from years gone by.
We would like to wish Year 13 students the very best of luck during the summer exam season and look forward to their prom on July 7th. We hope that they have all enjoyed their time in the sixth form. All staff wish them every success in their futures.
YEAR 13 LEAVERS’ DESTINATIONS
An incredible 77 of the year 13 cohort at GMS applied to university- an increase on the figure of 2015 which was 73. Those students who have not applied have either: looked into full-time work, are taking a gap year, have applied to Art Foundation courses with a view to starting a degree the following year or are still deciding their next steps. The current predicted grades for year 13 students at A* to C are the second highest we have had as a school; the highest was in 2015, although there are now 102 in the cohort as opposed to 92. We wish all our year 13 Leavers’ every success in their future endeavours.
YEAR 12 ATTEND UCAS DAY
On Monday 11 July all year 12 students participated in a ‘Next Steps’ collapsed day in order to educate them about potential University, job and apprenticeship routes. Students listened to a range of speakers including ambassadors from Bucks New University, STA travel an Apprenticeship presenter and also begin their UCAS applications.
In the evening, parents were able to attend
an information evening designed to inform them about the UCAS application process. Visits to universities have already begun. All students received a “UCAS, the next steps guide” detailing everything they need to know about applying for further education courses. This is also availble to view on the school website.
YEAR 12 WORK EXPERIENCE
All year 12 students will be completed work experience during the week commencing 4 July.
Aby Jones co-
ordinated the eventalthough to their credit, all students had to seek and secure a placement on their own.
YEAR 13 PROM
On 7 July, the year 13 Leavers’ Prom was held at Court Gardens. The event was funded and organised by the 6th form team led by Arifa Sheikh and was hugely successful. Photos of the Prom can be viewed on the school website and were kindly taken by Mrs Rooney and her son, Liam.
