Supporting Your Preparations For Sixth Form Study
At Worcester Sixth Form College we are looking forward to welcoming you as our students and newest members of our community.
We hope that you were able to visit an Open Event to find out more about the subjects that you are interested in studying and to ask questions about our subjects. If you think of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
To help you make a successful transition from year 11 to post 16 study we ask that you complete bridging tasks for the subjects you want to study and also more general activities to ensure that you have the right set of study skills to ensure you get off to the best start.
The ‘Post 16 Mindset’ offers a framework to help with motivation, organisation, effort, and attitude, whilst the ‘Worcester Working Week’ provides guidance on the amount of time that you should be spending on College work, and enrichment. Several tasks have been attached to this area to help familiarise you with these principles. Please complete the tasks and bring them with you to your first tutorial session at College in September.
Further down the page you will be able to see the subject specific bridging tasks along with some introductory videos and guides. We have continued to use Microsoft Teams as our preferred platform and will make use of this in our teaching and learning.
Bridging Tasks
We have prepared a range of bridging tasks for our wide range of A Level, Applied, AAQ and T Level courses which we would like to share with you ahead of you joining us in September. This will provide an insight into what studying the subject will be like and ensure that you set to make a great start. You should complete these tasks before the start of College for the three subjects you are most likely to enrol on or if you plan to study a three block applied/T level course, e.g. Sport and Exercise Science, you need only complete the relevant tasks.
If you have not yet applied or if you are still unsure about the subjects that you will also find a range of Subject Leaflets on this page which will provide more information about what is involved.

Worcester Working Week
At Worcester Sixth Form College, we are keen to ensure that all students achieve positive outcomes and are fully prepared for the future. Using your time productively is an essential part of this process, this will allow students to develop the key attributes of a successful learner.
We advise all students to follow the Worcester Working Week. This involves 14 hours of independent study outside of lesson time. Whilst students will receive 15 hours of timetabled lesson time, it is the strategy of encouraging them to take responsibility for their own learning that ensures progress.
