The Right To LearnThe Bridgend Learning Partnership believes that every young person has the right to learn. Young people should betreated equally, given the support they need to reach their full potential and be able to choose from a wide range ofcourses and qualifications which are valued by employers. Such courses and qualifications should develop theinterests and ambitions of young people, enabling them to achieve their learning goals and develop the knowledge,skills and understanding to give them the best possible opportunity of finding a successful future.

As a young person you have the right to pursue a learning pathway that meets your individual ability and aspirationsand in the County Borough of Bridgend the opportunities for you to find the individual pathway that is right for youhave never been so varied and accessible.

On completion of Year 11 your choices are to:

� Learn full-time in a Sixth Form at school;

� Learn full-time based in a Sixth Form, with the possibility

of undertaking courses offered by other learning

providers;

� Learn full-time at Bridgend College;

� Start training or paid employment with the possibility of

pursuing a relevant qualification e.g. Work Based Learning.

For those who choose to return to the Sixth Form, all Bridgendschools, Bridgend College andWork Based Learning Providers are working in partnership to offer a wider range ofcourses to Post 16 Learners.

In general there are three levels of qualification available for Post 16 Learners in Bridgend.

Level 1 - This is the equivalent of grades D to G at GCSELevel 2 - This is the equivalent of grades A* to C at GCSELevel 3 - This is the equivalent of grades A* to E at A Level

The way these levels of qualification are attained will vary according to the type of course that is undertaken. ManyLevel 3 qualifications are awarded after the successful completion of an A Level course. However, Level 3 can also begained by achieving a Vocational qualification that may be the equivalent of one, two or three A Levels.

When you are choosing subjects from this option booklet, it isimportant to note the level of each course to ensure you arechoosing appropriate qualifications that are right for you. Thisinformation can be found near the head of each subjectdescription.

The decisions and choices that you make about what you wantto do at the end of Year 11 will have a huge impact on yourfuture. To ensure you have all the facts you need in order tomake the right decision, it is essential that you discuss youroptions with your parents/carers, careers adviser, learningcoaches and teachers.


When you are choosing courses and qualifications to study in the Sixth Form, there are a number of relatedfactors that can be useful in guiding your choice.

1. Knowing yourself - Being aware of your abilities, likes and dislikes, interests and the way you like tolearn will all help to make your choice.

2. Knowing your aims - If you have ideas for the work you would like to do in the future then you maywant to look for subjects that will help you work towards your desired career.

3. Knowing your subjects - It is important to know something of the content of the subjects you areconsidering taking. You may be drawn to a subject because of its title or because you achieved a goodgrade in it at GCSE. However, a closer look at what the subject involves may reveal that it is not right foryou. Being aware of the full range of your subject options can help you to choose a combination of relatedsubjects that might best meet your learning needs.

4. Knowing your options - There are a wide variety of courses to choose from at different levels withinschool but it is important to be aware that, whilst you return as a student in the school Sixth Form, you alsohave access to wider range of courses that are offered outside of school. These are held in other schoolsin Bridgend or in Bridgend College and you will find more detailed information about them as well asthose run in your school in the next section which outlines learning opportunities in the Sixth Form.

If you choose to study a course taught at another school or at the College, you will enter into an agreementwhich will clearly state the expectations of you and the learning provider.

COMPACT

To encourage you to fit into Sixth Form life effectively andgive you a solid basis for your future education andemployment the Bridgend 14-19 Network has a CompactAgreement with all schools.

During Year 12, students work towards a series of goalsincluding such things as a high level of attendance andpunctuality that if achieved will result in the awarding of theCompact Certificate enabling the student to become aCompact Graduate.

The Compact Award includes seven goals that recordsomething of your social, learning and personaldevelopment as a student and if achieved will enhanceyour chances of progression to higher education oremployment.
