Year 11 Information 2025-26

I would be very grateful if you could share details of our upcoming 4^th March open evening with your Year 11 students and their families.

We know that many students still aren’t sure about their post-16 options and some need to have more than one option. The open evening is the perfect opportunity for students and their parents to find out about life at SFX. All our teachers will be available to offer advice on our many sixth form options and our student ambassadors will be taking visitors on tours of the campus – as well as answering any questions they may have!

We know that some students should be considering options other than sixth form at school, so this is an excellent opportunity for them to find out what courses we offer and the grades required for entry. Students and parents/carers can register for the open evening here.

I look forward to meeting your students on the 4^th March!

Kind regards,
