Year 10 students at Radnor House School got a taste of being a sixth former this month, when they tested out different AS and A-level subjects.

The school, in Cross Deep, will open a new sixth form next year, admitting 60 pupils.

Director of sixth form Patrick Crossley said: “We will work with our pupils on an individual level, supporting them with their university choices, the application process and careers advice.”

The 10 to sixth day on June 10, promoted the use of technology to support pupils’ learning, with a concluding presentation and discussion advising about available apps and devices that could complement their study, should they wish to use them.
