The Y12 Parents Intervention evening will take place at Balcarras on Wednesday 22nd March, 6-7pm. If you are unable to attend, please contact the Sixth Form office. 

Balcarras Boost Programme 

The Balcarras Boost Programme is run by Mr Niblett and aims for Balcarras students to:

  • Self-identify as high achievers
  • Have the confidence to express academic interest in public
  • Have a plan to achieve significantly above average
  • Feel accountable with their peer group in putting their plan into action
  • Apply to top universities with a high success rate

Many Y12 students have joined the programme this year and we have some exciting events planned for this term:

  • Monday 13th February - dinner at the Strand
  • Tuesday 14th February - dinner at the Strand
  • Thursday 9th March - day trip to St Catherines, Oxford
