It was fantastic to see so many parents/guardians attend our new parents welcome evening. If you were unable to attend yesterday evening's welcome event for new parents, there is a recording of the full presentation on our YouTube channel.

It's been busy this morning as we welcomed our new students to the campus. Thursday and Friday are exclusively for first years, so there's an opportunity to explore the campus, get into your subjects and meet new friends. If you have an issue with your timetable or need to collect your lanyard, please have a chat with your tutor or go to the Oak reception during your free period.

2022 was the best results ever at Wyke Sixth Form College. 158 A*s, 61% A*-B and 81% Distinction*/Distinction vocational awards. Wyke students showed remarkable resilience and determination to deliver work at the highest level despite the challenges of lockdowns, remote working in their first year and uncertainty about how they would be assessed. Their sustained effort, supported by our exceptional teaching and pastoral teams, led to the best outcomes and destinations in Wyke’s history.

WYKE START 4th-5th July, 2022. This year Wyke Start is back on-campus. Over an inspiring two days our future students will study their selected subjects, meet our award winning teachers and experience the "buzz" of our university-style campus. Students need to confirm their subjects and attendance throught the Applicant Portal by 10th June. We can't wait to see you. #WeAreWyke #TheWykeExperience

Our open evenings have been really popular this autumn, as we returned to welcoming future students and their families to our fanatstic campus. Feedback from these events has been really positive. Our visitors appreciated the opportuinity to discuss our broad portfolio of A level and vocational courses with our specialist teachers, they really enjoyed talking to many of our current students, and many found that they had discovered the "Wyke buzz". If you missed the opportunity to attend one of my welcome talks, they are now available online. If you're yet to visit Wyke or you would like a second look around, then we have another Open Saturday on 22 January. Free tickets are available to book online.
