Marling students are not able to register for this event - an A Level taster day will be held in Term 4.
Discovery Day is there to help you make the best decisions about your future. You may be sure about which subjects you want to study next year, but just want to get a feel for what it will be like studying A Levels at our sixth form. Or you may still be undecided - in which case it’s a great opportunity to try out a few different options. Whilst we are not able to offer the full complement of subjects which will be available in September due to staff availability, there is a broad selection from which to choose.
You will attend a short welcome session followed by three lesson sessions, so you will choose one subject (plus a reserve) for each session.
To book a place on Discovery Day you first need to create an account in our application system. If you have already done this, you will be able to navigate to the Discovery Day section.
Please create an account on our admissions portal here Marling School.
PLEASE BOOK YOUR PLACE BY SATURDAY 24th JANUARY AT THE LATEST.
Information about what to do on the day will be emailed to you in advance of the event. This will be emailed during the week commencing 26th January - please make sure you also check your junk/spam folders.
