SCHOOL pupils enjoyed a taste of what could come next with a visit to Barnsley Sixth Form College.

A group of 25 pupils from Horizon Community College on Dodworth Road spent a day at the college where they learned more about A level studies by attending taster classes in law, science and sociology run by tutors and current students.

The year tens were also able to learn about support available from the tutorial and student services teams and the enrichment opportunities offered in areas such as sport and enterprise.

Students from drama and theatre studies held a performance for the group in the EnRich Auditorium and principal Denise Jelly was on hand to answer the pupils’ queries during a question and answer session.

Nicola Daykin, learning coordinator at Horizon, said: “The visit was a really good introduction for pupils to the variety of A level courses available to them.

“The taster sessions they took part in were very well-organised, interesting and engaged all of the pupils from the offset.

“The pupils experienced some subjects that they might not have accessed before and hopefully the day gave them a real insight into the options available to them in post-16 study.”
