Students approached the day with interest and engaging fully in lessons, asking thoughtful questions and embracing the opportunity to challenge themselves. As well as experiencing a range of subjects, the day gave students the chance to discover the supportive learning environment, specialist teaching and wider opportunities available at Abbey Grange Sixth Form. In addition to attending lessons, students explored the dedicated Sixth Form facilities, including study areas and the Sixth Form café, helping them gain a real feel for day-to-day life as a Sixth Form student.
"Today has gone really well, and I found Biology particularly interesting. The lessons have given me a great insight into the subject and I'm looking forward to studying it in more depth in Sixth Form."
