Sixth Form Open Event

We will host our annual sixth form open event on Wednesday 23rd November for prospective post-16 students

Students who are due to start post-16 studies in September 2023 are invited to visit Forge Sixth Form to get a taster of life and study with us.

Ormiston Forge Academy Sixth Form will host its annual open event on Wednesday 23rd November for prospective post-16 students

Whether you are thinking about moving onto university, an apprenticeship, employment or a gap year, you can be sure that you will find courses to suit and challenge you at our Sixth Form. With over 20 courses to choose from and a full enrichment programme, we provide a varied curriculum that gives you the opportunity to choose subjects you will love and succeed in over the next two years.

The doors will be open from 5.00pm–7.00pm on Wednesday 23rd November. There is no need to book, visitors can just turn up.

Visitors will be able to see the enormous variety and quality of courses Forge has to offer students for study after year 11 including new courses in criminology and computer science. A number of universities will be in attendance including UOB, Newman University, University College Birmingham, University of Worcester as well as The Access Project who help students improve their grades even more and support their applications to top universities.

Darren Grimes, Assistant Principal for Key Stage 5, said: “As well as outstanding levels of pastoral support, our academic programme is second-to-none. Our first Cambridge student has just completed her BA in Law and we have four more students on medicine pathways at university. Twelve students are currently on the medicine pathway at Forge and our results have shown that over the last few years, students who study in our sixth form do well; 100% of A level students achieved three or more A level passes this year.

“We’ve also just seen our first student go on to the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London. Italia Conti is an incredibly prestigious and competitive higher education destination for performing arts students.

“We’ve created an environment where students are able to flourish; it’s a safe place where they have academic and pastoral support, and the result is that they are happy and successful. We are really looking forward to showing our outcomes to prospective parents and students.“

The event, on Wednesday 23rd November 2022, is open to current students at Forge as well as external candidates. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
