MORE THAN JUST QUALIFICATIONS

The need to balance academic studies with rich and varied experiences outside the classroom is always at the forefront of our minds. We offer a fabulous enrichment programme to help prepare our students for life beyond Luckley.

We want you to leave Sixth Form with more than just excellent grades. Through our enhanced Sixth Form package, you will have the opportunity to gain additional qualifications and certifications that can open doors to part-time work, volunteering and future careers.

Luckley will facilitate individual development through advising on free training with external MOOC (online) resources.

Whether it is coaching sport, working in hospitality, mental health first-aid or developing essential workplace skills, these experiences will help you to build confidence, independence and employability.

MAKING INFORMED CHOICES

Our Post-18 Guidance Programme is designed around you, helping you make confident and informed decisions about
your future. Whether you are considering university, an apprenticeship, employment or another pathway, you will receive personalised one-to-one guidance to explore your options and identify the route that best matches your ambitions, interests and strengths.

Throughout Sixth Form you will benefit from expert support with researching courses and careers, preparing applications and meeting key deadlines. If you choose to apply to university, you will receive dedicated guidance through every stage of the UCAS process, including support with writing a standout personal statement and submitting the strongest possible application. Our goal is to ensure that every student leaves Sixth Form with a clear plan, the confidence to take their next step and the skills to succeed in their chosen future.

Explore Career Options

Our Careers programme will help you explore the wide range of opportunities available after Sixth Form and make informed decisions about your future. Throughout your time in Sixth Form you will have access to lectures, workshops and events delivered by universities, employers, apprenticeship providers and gap-year organisations, giving you first-hand insight into the pathways available to you.

By engaging directly with professionals, industry experts and education providers, you will gain a deeper understanding of different careers, sectors and routes into employment. These experiences will help you identify your interests, broaden your aspirations and develop a clearer vision for your future.

The programme will also help you understand the skills, qualifications and experiences that employers and universities value, enabling you to make informed choices and take positive steps towards achieving your ambitions.

Our Alumni Mentoring Scheme connects you with former students who have successfully progressed into a wide range of careers and industries. Through these valuable networks, you will gain first-hand insights into different professions, receive advice from those who have recently navigated similar pathways, and may even access work experience and networking opportunities relevant to your interests.

 

Employability and Career Readiness

In an increasingly competitive employment market, developing strong employability skills is more important than ever.

Significant time and resources will be dedicated to helping students prepare for the workplace through practical workshops on writing effective curriculum vitae, crafting cover letters, building a professional LinkedIn profile and developing interview skills.
Year 12 students focus on securing meaningful work experience and mentoring opportunities to help prepare successful applications, while Year 13 students receive tailored guidance for apprenticeships, employment and part-time work alongside university study.

The programme equips students with the confidence, experience and professional skills needed to stand out and take the next step towards their chosen career.

Luckley Employer Network

We are committed to building strong partnerships with local businesses and organisations to provide you with a wide range of meaningful experiences that will allow you to explore different careers, develop valuable workplace skills and gain real insight into industries that interest you. These connections could also lead to part-time work, holiday employment, internships and apprenticeship opportunities.

Leading The Way

Leadership is a key part of your Sixth Form experience at Luckley. We want every student to have the opportunity to develop the confidence, responsibility and interpersonal skills that will help them succeed at university, in the workplace and throughout their future careers.

As a Sixth Form student, you will have access to a range of leadership opportunities that allow you to make a meaningful contribution to the school community while developing valuable personal and professional skills. Whether leading initiatives, supporting younger students, representing your peers or helping to organise events, you will gain experiences that build confidence, resilience and teamwork.
For those wishing to take on a more prominent role, the Senior Prefect Team provides an opportunity to become a role model and ambassador for the School. Senior Prefects work closely with the Head to support school events, represent the student voice, welcome prospective pupils and families, and help shape the Sixth Form experience. These roles provide excellent opportunities to develop leadership skills, enhance university and apprenticeship applications, and make a lasting impact on the School community.
