sixth form open evening

Yesterday evening it was fantastic to welcome Year 11 students, parents and carers from schools across the area and, of course, from UGS to our Sixth Form Open Evening.

It was the perfect opportunity to discover and explore what makes learning at Urmston Grammar, and the Sixth form experience, so special.

Our visitors attended presentations from our leadership team on all aspects of our extensive provision, and got to hear from representatives from our Senior Prefect team.

Our lead presentations detailed our latest outstanding A level results, the destinations of our recent leavers and all aspects of Sixth form provision, including our Wednesday afternoon Electives programme, a great opportunity for our students to learn and build transferable skills such as First Aid outside of academics:

The opportunity to study for the Extended Project Qualification:

Our Super curricular options, which make an invaluable contribution to university applications:

Head and Assistant Head of Sixth Form Mrs Mangham-Dewhurst and Mr Neale also presented on our bespoke Oxbridge and MDV programmes, and on our mentoring scheme, for which each student is assigned a personal mentor with whom they will regularly meet with over the two years that they are in Sixth Form.

Our visitors also enjoyed the opportunity to attend subject specialist talks in each and all of the 21 A level courses that we offer.

And to take part in Q&A sessions with both our staff and current students.

Our Year 12 students were also proud to offer guided tours of the school and our facilities.

Many thanks to everyone who attended, it's been lovely to meet you all, and wonderful to receive so much positive feedback.

Applications to join our Sixth form are now open on our website with a closing date of 15th January 2027. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you again soon!
