We’re pleased to offer Year 10 students the chance to attend College Taster Days this July, giving them a valuable opportunity to explore courses, experience college life, and begin planning their post-16 education.

Key details:

  • All Year 10 pupils will attend a taster day on Wednesday 2nd July at either Tameside College (Beaufort Road or Tameside One, depending on course) or Clarendon Sixth Form College.
  • Students will choose their preferred site and courses during their PSHE lesson on Monday 12th May, having already had a course overview in form time. Please review the attached course information with your child ahead of this.
  • Timings will be confirmed once choices are finalised.
  • Students must make their own way to and from college to build independence.
  • A packed lunch or money for the college canteen is required.
  • Uniform expectations will be confirmed shortly.

Additionally, students interested in Ashton Sixth Form College are invited to attend a separate taster day on Thursday 3rd July. Please review the attached course information and complete the following Microsoft Forms link to register and select subject preferences. https://forms.office.com/e/KE3cEHLkKB . Options for Ashton must be submitted by Wednesday 14th May.

Consent must be provided on ParentPay for both of these trips—please keep an eye out for further communication regarding this.

We’re excited to support students in exploring their future pathways. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Miss Griffiths at school.
