It was wonderful to meet everyone, and we hope you enjoyed gaining an insight into life in the Associated Sixth Form!

We were delighted to welcome our current St. Aidan’s Year 11 students for their Sixth Form Transition Day today. The day offered a valuable insight into life in the Associated Sixth Form, with students experiencing a range of lessons and getting a taste of what lies ahead.

Congratulations to all students who competed in the regional finals at York Athletics Club this week. Everyone performed brilliantly, showing great determination and raising their standards from the county round, with impressive improvements in both scores and points.

Team results were excellent: Inter Girls finished 2nd, Junior Girls also placed 2nd, and Junior Boys achieved a strong 4th place.

There were some fantastic individual highlights, including Smiti’s outstanding 30.8m javelin throw and Zack’s school-record triple jump of 10.59m.

Personal bests were recorded by Eva, Esme, Jess, Tiwa, Anna, Elsie, Violet, Smiti, Abi, Jan, Elliot, Freddie, Harry, Ben, Eva, and Mia.

Well done to everyone involved. We now look ahead to the final school match next week at Leeds Beckett University—good luck to all competing!

🌟 UCAS Discovery Success at Leeds Beckett University! 🌟

Yesterday, around 250 of our Year 12 Associated Sixth Form students had a fantastic opportunity to attend a UCAS Discovery event at Leeds Beckett University- and what a brilliant day it was!

Students explored a wide range of subject stands from universities and other post-18 providers, gaining valuable insight into their future pathways. They also took part in a series of engaging lectures, workshops, and application advice sessions, helping to demystify the UCAS process and inspire their next steps.

We’re delighted to report that student feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many feeling more confident and informed about their options. Even more impressively, their behaviour and attitude throughout the day were exemplary - a real credit to our Sixth Form community.

👏 Well done everyone, and thank you to Leeds Beckett University for hosting such an informative and inspiring event!

Our Year 12 A Level Geography students were out in the field today carrying out data collection for their Non-Examined Assessment (NEA).

Gathering primary data is a vital part of the investigation process, allowing students to apply their geographical knowledge and research skills in real-world environments. It was fantastic to see them working professionally, collecting observations, measurements, and survey data that will form the basis of their independent enquiries.

Of course, no fieldwork day would be complete without a little downtime, and students even managed to fit in a novelty game of cricket between data collection activities, adding plenty of fun and team spirit to the day!

We look forward to seeing how today’s fieldwork contributes to their final projects. Well done, Year 12! 🌍📊🏏

That’s a wrap on the Sixth Form examination period!

With A Level Mathematics bringing the exam season to a close today, we would like to congratulate every student on the attitude, resilience and dedication they have shown throughout this challenging period.

We are incredibly proud of your hard work and look forward to celebrating the end of this chapter and the beginning of exciting new opportunities at the Associated Sixth Form Leavers’ Ball next week.

A special thank you goes to Exams Officer Mrs Humphrey, the team of invigilators, and all the staff who have supported our students over the past few weeks. Your commitment, care and professionalism have been invaluable, and we are extremely grateful for everything you have done.

Well done, Class of 2026 – we wish you every success for the future! 🎓✨

Thanks again to .lloydwebber and for the brilliant Masterclass this morning. Well done to all four cellists for performing in front of the Lloyd-Webbers and an audience in the Chapel - very brave but such an amazing opportunity!⭐️👏🎵
