Opportunity awaits at Cardinal Heenan Sixth Form

An article written by Year 13 student, Daniel McAvoy, reflecting on his experience at Cardinal Heenan Sixth Form.

Cardinal Heenan Sixth Form is a mixed, purpose-built sixth form that operates in West Derby, Liverpool and is consistently rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

Students have access to first-class learning facilities including science labs, ICT suites, and an extensive quiet study area.

Cardinal Heenan offers a friendly, safe and supportive environment where all students enjoy an excellent standard of teaching, access to a wide variety of courses and the guidance needed to ensure their success.

In addition, the sixth form also provides a programme of exciting and engaging enrichment activities. This is why almost all students go on to either university – including Russell Group universities, or higher-level apprenticeships.

During my time at Cardinal Heenan, I, along with my fellow students, have been presented with a multitude of opportunities.

This includes a Year 12 work experience week, where students are immersed in a career aligned to their interests and aspirations.

Students also have the opportunity to join a subjectspecific association such as medicine, engineering and law, strengthening their knowledge, skills and passion. Support with university admission exams is also provided.

For those interested in sport, there is also access to the Lifestyles gym free of charge, sports leaders’ level 3 qualifications, and my personal highlight – the sixth form football team.

Applications are now open to students of all genders who wish to join Cardinal Heenan Sixth Form. Apply now: www.cardinal-heenan.org.uk.
