Everyone at Outwood Post 16 Doncaster Post looks forward to welcoming you to the Academy!
Transition from Key Stage 4 is crucial and the first few months in Post 16 can make or break a student’s experience. All students are fully inducted into Key Stage 5 during September and have access to individual support and guidance from their Post 16 Guidance Tutors; personalisation of timetables by the Post 16 Learning Leadership Team.
The wider package of resources play an important part in developing independent learners. We have a dedicated computer suite designed by the students themselves as well as a fully resourced Careers and Reference Library.
Starting a new school is an opportunity to study exciting new subjects, meet new people and make new friends. During your time at the Academy you may need extra support.
Your first port of call is your Learning manager. We have 2 fantastically supportive learning managers, one at each site. They are in everyday to support you with your sixth form journey, supporting you with your subjects, helping you develop your independency skills and prepare you for your life after post 16, whether it be University, apprenticeship or the start of you career.
