There
are around 800 students taught at Ramsey Abbey School and over 300 of them
are Sixth Form students. As I had said earlier Ramsey Abbey school had
recently become an Information Communication Technology college. This shows
that the ICT services within the school are very extensive and that the
school may receive larger grants in the future.
School canteen -
Where Sixth Formers can work in their free time There is an extensive food service.
There are plans to make the canteen bigger and have part of it as an
internet cafe.
All day IT access-
There is access to computers all day even at lunch and
after school. There is a study room with computers in for Sixth From
students. At break and lunchtimes there is also an opportunity for
students to play games on the computers but the games are locked through
lesson times.
All day library -
With many facilities
such as book searches, internet searches, career searches the library is a
wonderful place for students to work in.
Homework clubs- Somewhere to go after
school to do extra work. It can be organised with a teacher for them to be
there so they can help if there is a problem with a piece of work.
Sport clubs - After school
there are sports clubs for people to use and enjoy. If people want to they
can do academic activities. If Sixth form want they can have sports lesson
within a school day.
Music lessons and bands -
These are
available to those who wish to learn and play an instrument . There are
also rooms that mature student can use to play music in their extra time.
Assessment programs -
To help you keep
on top of your workload and to assess the stage you are currently at in
your academic ability.
Sixth Form council -
Gives the students
a chance to put forward their views and opinions and to see if they can
change the way things are done so that it is better for all the students.
Careers interviews -
To help and give students ideas of what they want to do in the future and what
they should do next.
Work experience -
This gives a student
experience in the world of work as well as the knowledge, which can be a big step
when moving into final employment.
Careers and University room -
Here Sixth Form students
can look at university prospectuses and careers information on their own
to give a better idea of what needs to be done if they wish to move on in
the they want.
