The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust is excited to announce its Post 16 Open Evening to support all local young people in choosing the best possible pathway for success, as they work towards graduating from their secondary education. The evening will aim to guide parents, guardians, carers and prospective students through The Trust’s Post 16 offer, where they will be taken on a journey through the four colleges within The Trust and guided through the different curriculum areas, demonstrating what Post 16 teaching and learning looks like, as it is a step up from GCSE. From the wide variety of subject areas on offer, students and their families will be able to gauge the examination boards used, the modules covered in both Year 12 and 13, and will receive a comprehensive overview of what the course demands from its students. 

The event promises to be informative and enlightening for all. From the career-focused courses offered at The Trust to our extensive enrichment opportunities, students and their families are invited to join us on Wednesday 30^th November at 5:30pm to 7:45pm at Rosedale College to find out just what makes Post 16 at The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust an offer that cannot be missed! The Director’s Speeches will take place at 6:00pm and 7:00pm.

In order to keep the crowds to a minimum, we would appreciate if we could limit the guests to one adult per prospective student. In the meantime, please feel free to explore our Post 16 provision at https://www.therosedalehewensacademytrust.co.uk/post-16

From Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th October, six Year 12 students enjoyed a three-day extravanganza as part of Brunel University London’s Shakespeare on Trial trip, in collaboration with The Globe Theatre and the Royal Courts of Justice. The programme brought literature and the legal system to life by subjecting fully-realised fictional characters to in-depth examination, using Shakespeare’s The Tempest as visual and textual evidence and giving our young people an opportunity to experience both the world of the theatre and the drama and theatricality of the courtroom. The course also provided our students with the opportunity to experience what it would be like to study in a university environment, as well as visiting London’s iconic Royal Courts of Justice. Our students developed their confidence in public speaking and awareness of legal procedure, as well as critical thinking; analysing evidence; ordering ideas; formulating an argument; presenting information concisely, logically and persuasively and using an appropriate tone and register. Our students thoroughly enjoyed the Globe’s performance of The Tempest, the lectures and the mock trial at the Courts.
