About this Event
We are very excited to open our doors once again to current and prospective parents and students to enjoy an evening to explore our fantastic facilities, meet many of our excellent members of staff and hear from our existing Sixth Form students and learn about their experience with us.
To give you as much flexibility and time as you need, the evening will be a combination of presentations (see booking information below) and free flow to allow you to explore our facilities and talk to staff and students at your leisure.
Self-guided tours
Our doors will open at 4:45pm. Throughout the evening, there will be exhibitions from each of our faculties with students and staff showcasing the work our Year 12 and 13 students have been doing. Staff and students will also be on hand to talk to you in depth about life at CCS and their subjects, and how these can shape your child’s future. You will be able to self-guide throughout the school, and a detailed brochure and map will be provided when you arrive. There will also be staff and students on hand to help guide you should you wish. If you wish to do a self-guided tour only and not attend any of the presentations, please request the self-guided tour only ticket.
Presentations
You will be able to book into two presentations (subject to availability):
- Welcome presentation from our Principal and Head of Sixth Form,
- A Level mindset - led by our Sixth Form Performance Leader.
*We kindly ask that you only book tickets to one timeslot for each presentation, to allow availibility for everyone to join us. Should you be running late and miss your slot, please speak to a member of our team on the night and we will do our very best to accomodate you.
These presentations do not need to be attended in any particular order – further information and time slots are below:
Welcome from Principal and Head of Sixth form
Mr James and Mr Cole will be talking to you about our school, vision and strategy and teaching and learning the Caroline Chisholm School way, and also why Caroline Chisholm School should be your child’s school of choice.

- Welcome 1: 5:00-5:20pm
- Welcome 2: 6:00-6:20pm

A Level mindset and planning for post-18 Talk from Sixth Form Performance Leader
Performance Leader Ms Hogben will be offering a 20-minute presentation speaking on developing an A Level mindset - bridging the gap from GCSE to A Level. She will also outline the support provided by the school for those students considering applying to Oxford/Cambridge/Medicine and, more broadly, the process for post-18 applications.
This talk is completely optional, but it would provide students and parents a fantastic opportunity to learn more about what students can expect from their time in the Sixth Form.
