News from the Sixth Form
Information For External Applicants: Colfe’s Sixth Form is made up of
approximately 180 students (90 in Year 12 and 90 in Year 13). ‘ A’ level subjects range from Maths,
Latin & Economics to Media Studies, Psychology and Drama. Results are consistently very good;
this summer 71% of our A level entries were graded A or B. The majority of our current Year 11
students are expected to continue into the Sixth Form; however, we do welcome applications for Year
12 from external students. Those wishing to apply for a place for next September (2010) are advised
to do so before the end of October.
Entrance Criteria For External Applicants: Candidates for Sixth Form places
applying after 21
st November will be invited into the school for an interview and to take an exam,
following which a decision about his/her application will be made. We will approach the student’s
current school for an academic reference which includes a request for predicted GCSE
grades. If we believe the student has the potential to meet the academic criteria for Sixth
Form entry, we will offer a conditional place for September. The conditions being that the student
achieves at least 14 points at GCSE, with an A* or A equating to 3 points, a B equating to 2 and a
C equating to 1 point. We also require the student to get A grades in at least four subjects,
preferably in the subjects that he/she wishes to study in the Sixth Form.

Speak Up Speak Out
 On the morning of Monday 21st June, a wide variety of moods were noticeable amongst Year 12. The prospect of a day of Public Speaking was approached with eagerness by some, but equally with fear by others. After being divided into four groups, we initially received some advice on how to structure and deliver a speech, before everyone was asked to individually deliver an impromptu speech on a given title, ranging from ‘my favourite time of year’ to ‘the pogo-stick as a mode of transport’.
