May I extend a very warm welcome to parents, carers and students of Year 12.

Morning Registration
Year 12 students are required to attend morning registration three times per week: - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8.30–9.00am. During these sessions, form tutors will deliver a programme of personal development tailored to sixth form students. These sessions also allow students to build positive relationships with tutors, who play a crucial role in preparing UCAS and employment references in Year 13. Every Thursday is used for year 12 assemblies which normally take place within the main canteen. These are compulsory to attend. On non-registration days, students are expected to arrive in time for their first lesson.

Once in school, Year 12 students are expected to remain on site until 1.20pm. After this time, students can sign themselves out of student reception to leave the site. If students have period 5 or 6 lessons, they simply would return on site in time for these lessons. If students don’t have period 5 or 6 lessons, they would be free to go home. 

Supervised Study
Each student will have a number of study sessions added to their timetables within the upcoming few weeks. These sessions will provide opportunities for students to complete independent work for their KS5 subjects. We are hopeful that some of these sessions will be held in our whole school library. Students are expected to bring work to complete and to use this time productively.

Extra Curricular Activities

Students in the Sixth Form are given many opportunities to volunteer and give back to the school community. There are various volunteering roles available which include:

• Link Work
• Peer Mentoring
• Delivering PE sports clubs
• Reading and number buddies
• External volunteering in the local community

Students who are interested in volunteering will be given information on how to proceed and which members of staff would be their point of contact

Pupil Premium students in Year 12

There may be financial assistance available for Pupil Premium pupils for school trips and other activities but individual enquiries to the school should be made regarding this assistance.

Please contact the school office on 0118 9353353 or alternatively email office@bulmershe.wokingham.sch.uk who will pass on your enquiry to Mr Staton, Assistant Headteacher who manages Pupil Premium funding.
