Welcome to Gordano Sixth Form Induction Week – an engaging and inspiring week of lessons, workshops and presentations to prepare you for September and to help you make your final subject choices.
Any student wishing to come to Gordano Sixth Form in September needs to complete this induction programme. Students will have a range of tasks throughout the week and will also be set summer work in each subject.
We understand that some students will also be holding offers from other Sixth Forms/Colleges.
We ask that you liaise with us so that we can work around external induction sessions if we are
able to – please email pholwell@gordanoschool.org.uk
NB you will still need to ensure you collect all Summer work from The Bridge website if you still
wish to join us in September.
Your timetable for the week:
We expect students to attend all the sessions in bold italics as mandatory.
These are a mix of subject lessons, Study-Plus sessions and other activities. The sessions highlighted in blue are
only for some students. Please note that students will be sent a personalised timetable shortly after Thursday 16th June which will detail subject choices, times, rooms, teachers and all other relevant information for the week.
SUMMARY: all students are expected on site as follows:
Monday: 0845 to 1425 (note that students taking EPQ or Core Maths must also attend period 6, finishing 1520)
Tuesday: 0845 to 1520 (note that some students will attend Mr Pugh’s World Challenge information session in room H10. These students have been notified)

Refreshments: Food and drink can be purchased from the canteen or from the Sixth Form Common Room
(via ParentPay for current students or by cash for students new to Gordano). Alternatively you can bring your own refreshments.
