On Friday 20th June, we were delighted to give Year 10 students from Ely College and other local secondary schools the opportunity to experience our sixth form provision prior to making their applications to join us in September 2026.

For many this was the first time seeing our freshly renovated facilities & new home for Bishop Laney ahead of our official opening in September. It was a fantastic day making the most of the glorious weather and the current Business Admin students, who organised many of the activities as part of their events planning module, should be proud.

Year 10 got to socialise and experience a wide range of Taster Sessions including Medical Sciences (new next year!) where they were able to take part in a dissection practical (a favourite!); many will have tried subjects that they have never come across before such as psychology, sociology & criminology.

It's fantastic that the students get this opportunity to sample Post-16 options before they make their applications & we use this time to advise them on the process and their career pathways. We look forward to working with all local Year 10s in the months ahead and hope they had an enjoyable day.
