Findings from the GDST Girls’ Futures Report showed that only 38% of girls nationally feel prepared for the future at 18. At Norwich High School for Girls Sixth Form, we are ensuring our students leave school prepared for their own futures through our broad range of initiatives.
Mrs Hazel Packer, Director of Sixth Form commented: “As an all-through girls school, our pupils embrace the opportunities they are given for leadership from the last years of Prep, all the way through Senior School and into the Sixth Form. Being put in a position where they are interacting with younger students as role models helps our students develop in character as bold, confident and curious young people.
“In the Sixth Form, we start delivering focussed, forward looking sessions on what to expect at university – from accommodation to student finance, as well as on apprenticeships and CV writing; along with basic life skills which might be how to change a tyre, cooking, finance and so on. These help develop some of the skills young people need to take forward after school.”
