We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to our open evening tomorrow night. This is a great time to find out about the courses we have on offer for September 2023 and all of the additional opportunities being part of the sixth form at Duke’s could bring.

Dear Parent/Carer
Year 11 Parents’/Carers Evening and Duke’s Sixth Form Open Evening – Wednesday 2 November 2022

Students in Year 11 will shortly be submitting applications for the courses they wish to study post 16.
To support them with this decision, Duke’s Sixth Form will be holding an Open Evening on Wednesday 2 November 2022 between 4.00pm and 6.00pm. The Open Evening will take place alongside the usual Year 11 Parents’/Carers Evening.

This will give you the opportunity to:-
 Discuss your child’s progress and any concerns you may have regarding specific subjects
 Speak to the Head of Year and Year 11 Raising Achievement Team
 Find out what Duke’s Sixth Form could offer your child in September 2023
 Speak with subject staff and current students about courses on offer next year
 Receive personal advice from senior staff to ensure the correct post 16 pathway for your child
 Speak to our careers team about post 16 options including sixth form, college and
apprenticeships

There are no specific appointment times. You will be given a sheet with locations of staff who teach your child on arrival as well as a copy of the Duke’s Sixth Form interim prospectus.
We look forward to welcoming all parents/carers and students to showcase what Duke’s Sixth Form has to offer.

Yours sincerely

Mrs D Towers
Head of Sixth Form & Careers

Occurring through messaging apps, on social media and in online games, group chats are among the most popular ways that young people engage with their peers online. Involving, by definition, three or more individuals, these groups allow users to send messages, images and videos to everyone in one place. While they are useful for helping friends, people with shared interests or members of a club to communicate and coordinate activities, they can also leave young people feeling excluded and bullied – as well as providing opportunities for inappropriate content to be shared and viewed.

In the guide, you’ll find tips on a number of potential risks such as bullying, inappropriate content and unknown members.
