SIXTH FORM PATHWAYS

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.

We are pleased to announce our Sixth Form Pathways evening on Thursday 13th November 2025 from 4-6pm at Bassaleg School.   Whether you are a Bassaleg student or a student from another school who might be looking to join Bassaleg in September 2026, we would love to invite you and your family to attend this open evening where you will get the opportunity to speak to subject teachers and current sixth formers about your subject choices.  There is no need to book a place for the evening, just turn up anytime between 4-6pm and spend as much time as you wish talking to the subject teachers.

Best wishes,

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