BASSALEG SIXTH FORM

Dear Year 11 Pupil,

Welcome to our Sixth Form Pathways Page. We are extremely proud of our 6th Form here at Bassaleg School and we are very pleased that you are considering joining our very happy, positive and active Post 16 experience. On these pages you will find a wide range of information to support you in your research into this choice of pathway for you after Year 11. Please remember that there is a great deal of support available to you in school with other choices and we completely understand that 6th Form is not for everyone. Please talk to me, to Mr Powell and to subject teachers. Our website has a comprehensive range of subject videos and fact sheets for you. We are here to support you with this very important choice.

Our Sixth Form Open evening is on Thursday 12th November 2026 for any student who is interested in applying to become and Bassaleg Sixth Former for September 2027.  All year 11 students and parents are welcome to attend, including any new external students from other schools.  No need to book a space, the doors are open from 4pm-6pm.  You are free to arrive and leave at anytime but we would highly encourage you to arrive as early as  you can so you have enough time to see all the subjects and teachers.

Best wishes,

Justin Clayton-Jones, Assistant Headteacher and Dan Powell, Director of Wellbeing, Sixth Form
