AS/A2 January Mock Exams
Our Post 16 Mock Exams are now complete. Thank you to all staff and students for your hard work.
Diagnose - Therapy - Test
Students now should have had specific diagnostic feedback to prepare for your exams in 16 weeks time. (13 without holidays!) Studying at home means higher grades in exams.
Staff: There will be an additional aspect in SIMs report marksheet which will allow staff to enter their students' mock grades (ABCDE) along side their fine predicted grade (B1, B2, B3) for Assessment point 3.
The results from the mocks will be used to inform the assessment point 3 report grade due on Thursday, 29th January 2015.

We have now had 492 applications for Year 12 CLF Post 16!
We have now interviewed over 400 students for CLF Post 16 next year. Just a few more interviews which are taking place across sites over the next few weeks. There is still space for any more who wish to be considered for a place.
We are now blocking their subject courses into the curriculum. We will try and run courses if students apply quickly! If students would like to still apply, they can online at www.clfpost16.org
Curriculum 2015 - 16 Educating a city: widening our curriculum offer
We want to make CLF Post 16 as accessible as we can for our students. Our curriculum offer therefore needs to widen. We are planning to run additional courses this year, such as AS Applied Law, a new STEM course and a new Drama and Music School. If staff are interested and have ideas about running new courses, please contact claire.stewart@clfpost16.org
