The Royal High School Bath has launched a new programme for Year 11 called ‘Into the Sixth’. Students who are moving up into the Sixth Form in September will have access to a special four-week course where girls can mix with new class mates and teachers for next year, and make solid preparation for what are a challenging couple of years prior to university.
Depending on their subject choices, students will undertake guided reading and discussion, problem solving and critical thinking sessions, all designed to give them the very best chance to hit the ground running when they join the Sixth Form in September.
Deputy Head, Hadrian Briggs, said, “As teaching staff we always wish there was more time to support the girls with what is a very full academic programme in the Sixth Form, and whilst we may not choose to be in this current situation, it does present us with a wonderful opportunity to stoke the girls’ interest and help them develop skills to support their academic choices. We want the girls to come away from the course with a full reading list, enthusiasm for their choices, and a hunger for learning more in September.”
