Year 11 into Year 12 Transition

Welcome to Sixth Form

As you prepare to take the exciting next step into Sixth Form, we’re here to support you every step of the way. This page is your hub for all the resources you’ll need to make a confident and successful transition from Year 11 into Year 12.

Here, you will find:

  • The Year 11 into Year 12 transition work, issued at the Sixth Form Induction Day
  • Our Sixth Form Transition Booklet, full of helpful guidance and information about what to expect and how to prepare

We encourage you to explore these materials carefully over the summer to ensure you’re ready to make the most of your Sixth Form journey from day one.

Transition Work and Resources

All students who have applied to join our Sixth Form are required to complete the transition work for their chosen subjects.

This work is valuable as it is designed to:

  • Prepare you for the start of your A-Level courses
  • Give you an early insight into the subject content and expectations

Even if you have chosen an alternative post-16 route, we strongly encourage you to complete the transition work in the subjects that align with your future plans.

To support you, we have made the transition resources for all subjects available to everyone. This means that you can explore different subjects in case your choices change or if you would like to consider new options.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Hilton, Sixth Form Manager, at: a.hilton@beacon-academy.org
