 Reaseheath News - YEAR 10 TASTER SESSIONS
 We are really sad not to be able to offer our usual 3 days of Year 10 Tasters this year. It is a
 really difficult time for Year 10 students and we appreciate that if they do come into school
 during the coming weeks the priority must be a focus on their GCSE studies. Therefore, we
 have decided to run one virtual session on July 1st between 1pm-5pm (we envisage it will take
 approx. an hour to view the content so they can join at any point between 1pm-5pm). The aim
 of this session is for them to familiarise themselves with the college, the courses we have on
 offer and their options post GCSE's. During the session they will be able to view presentations
 from our Principal Marcus Clinton, Kenny Nolan our dedicated careers adviser and ourselves,
 the school liaison team. There will also be an opportunity to gain information on learning
 support, transport, accommodation as well as to view videos from our lecturing teams. If you
 have any students who would like to join us on 1st they can register their interest by visiting
 www.reaseheath.ac.uk/year-10.
 We do hope to offer these students an onsite experience once they are in Year 11.

Moreton Hall – Your Future Choices 3rd July at 9.30am (Year 10 and Year
   11)
   Moreton Hall Careers Team will be hosting a virtual event for students at The Corbet School
   offering impartial advice on:

           ·     choosing the right A levels
           ·     specialist subject requirements
           ·     university applications other
           ·     post-A level options.
   The focus is on students who are thinking or planning to study at A Level, and therefore
   vocational courses and level 2/3 apprenticeships will not be covered. Whilst the main focus is
   Year 10 and choosing A Levels, Year 11 students might also find the event beneficial to
   consider their course choices and university applications. Mrs Smith will also be attending this
   event.

   This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about choosing their A Levels and
   we hope to have some students who are currently studying A Levels available discuss their
   experiences. Please note that whilst this is delivered by Moreton Hall, the focus will not be on
   Moreton Hall as a place to study. If you would like to take part, please email Mrs Smith
   (nicola.smith4@corbetschool.net)

       From the chefs to the jet pilots they send out on full stomachs, the RAF is full of ordinary
