Sixth Form Transition Work

To help Year 11 students with transition into Year 12, we have some preparation work available. We look forward to welcoming you to the Sixth Form in September but in the meantime, please have a look at the information below and try to complete any work that is relevant to your choices of study. If access to a printer is difficult and you would like a printed copy of the relevant subjects to work on, please email Mrs Lowndes (Head of Sixth Form) at RJL@johnport.derbyshire.sch.uk and we can provide a black/white paper copy.
