Wickersley Sixth Form

Introducing the WPT Prom Bank for Year 6 and Year 11! 👗👞

Prom is a special milestone for our students, but the cost of prom wear and accessories can be a challenge for some families.

That’s why Wickersley Partnership Trust is proud to launch the WPT Prom Bank - a new initiative designed to help future Year 6 and 11 students access and borrow prom attire, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to celebrate their big night with confidence.

As this year’s prom season is underway, students and families are invited to consider donating:

🔷 Dresses
🔷 Suits
🔷 Shoes
🔷 Bags
🔷 Jewellery
🔷 Ties
🔷 And other suitable items

All sizes of adult formalwear and children's formalwear from 9 - 12 years are welcomed.

These donations will help build a sustainable collection that can support students for years to come.

Donations can be dropped off at school reception on any school day or during the following drop-off events:

📍 Cutler's Hall, Sheffield
📅 Friday 24th July, 11am - 2pm

📍 Cranworth Road Centre, Rotherham
📅 Saturday 25th July, 11am - 2pm

If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

Thank you as always for your support!

Our Year 12 students headed to Utilita Arena Sheffield this week for the UCAS Discovery Event, diving into everything universities and colleges have to offer. From exploring course options to chatting with course leaders, they gained brilliant insight into their future pathways after sixth form. A fantastic opportunity to get inspired and start shaping their next steps!

🚨 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE 🚨

With the recent hot weather, we know how tempting it can be to cool off in local reservoirs, lakes and rivers.

We urge all students and families to remember the dangers of water.

The water may look safe and calm on the surface, but you can never know the conditions underneath.

Cold water shock, sudden drop-offs, and hidden currents are deadly. Even strong swimmers can encounter difficulties.

Please stay out of the water. Do not take the risk.

📣 Our Year 12 Economics students have successfully submitted their entries to the prestigious John Locke Institute Global Essay Competition 2026.

The competition challenges students to deepen their subject knowledge, develop their academic writing skills, and construct well-reasoned arguments supported by research and evidence. Entries are assessed by leading academics from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, and Princeton.

A little planning now can make a big difference later!
