On Thursday 4th July they have a choice of attending either Clarendon or Tameside college. Support will be provided with making this choice in Personal Development lessons in school. Please discuss these choices with your child. Further information on different workshops at each College are at the end of this letter. These choices will be submitted in upcoming Personal Development lessons, nothing needs to be returned. The itinerary for each day is as follows: | **Ashton Sixth Form – Wed 3rd July** **FULL SCHOOL UNIFORM REQUIRED** | |---| | **9am** | **Arrive and register** | | **9.30-10.30** | **Taster session 1** | | **10:40-11:40** | **Taster session 2** | | **11:40-12.20** | **Lunch** | | **12.20-1.20** | **Taster session 3** | | **1.30-2.30** | **Taster session 4** | | **2.30-2.45** | **Departure** | | **Clarendon College – Thurs 4th July** **NON-UNIFORM** | |---| | **10.00am** | **Arrive and register** | | **10:15-11.15** | **Taster session 1** | | **11:20-12:20** | **Taster session 2** | | **12:20-1pm** | **Lunch** | | **1.05-2.05** | **Taster session 3** | | **2.05-2.15** | **Departure** | | **Tameside College – Thurs 4th July** **NON-UNIFORM** | |---| | **09:45am** | **Arrive and register** | | **10.15-11:45** | **Taster session 1** | | **11:45-12.25** | **Lunch** | | **12.30-12.45** | **Afternoon registration** | | **12.45-2.15** | **Taster session 2** | | **2.15-2.30** | **Departure** | This experience will be vital in supporting students to make good decisions about how they wish to continue in education, employment, or training after they leave Alder at the end of year 11. Full attendance and participation on each day are compulsory and usual school attendance and behaviour policies should be followed. To allow students to fully experience what it would be like to attend these Colleges **they must travel independently to and from the venues. Transport will not be provided.** We recommend that they travel with friends. Information about how to do this via public transport will be provided in advance of the date. **At Ashton Sixth Form College students will be required to wear full school uniform.** **At Tameside College students will not be required** to wear school uniform but must be dressed appropriately for the workshops, ie, best clothes are not advisable for certain workshops, e.g., trainers for sports, not best clothes for construction/engineering. Students will have the opportunity to choose different taster sessions to take part in in advance of the day. They should bring a pack lunch or notify school if they are on free school meals and require a grab a bag. Please confirm permission for your child’s attendance via parent pay by **May 24th.** If you wish to discuss either trip further, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Eaton at school.
