Frewen College Sixth Form is a unique blend of literacy support and remediation, vocational education and a supported introduction to the world of further and higher education. These courses were chosen specifically because they are skills based and skills assessed which means that written input and assessment is kept to a minimum and where it is needed we have negotiated that alternative methods of communication, such as submission of video and audio tapes and extensive use of information technology may be used. Our students have the opportunity to learn, practise and then be examined in real tasks which are directly applicable to the workplace. For future years please contact us for curruculum content.
All students do half a day a week with a local employer who is operating in their chosen field.
These placements are carefully selected and monitored so that students gain appropriate experience and are fully supported in their workplace. A unique arrangement with Bexhill College of Further Education means that Frewen College Sixth Form students have the chance to explore aspects of life in a small F.E. college. Starting with a half-day induction, students move on in the autumn term to take a Certificate in Food Hygiene alongside Bexhill's own students. In the spring term, they move on to take Community Sports Leader Awards within Bexhill College classes. The summer term is spent exploring each boy's progression options in the light of their experiences in Year 12.
