Year 12 students attended a trip to De Montfort University on Monday where they explored the campus through a guided tour, gained insight into university facilities, student life and learning environments. During the visit, students looked at the different university courses available helping them to consider future study options and careers aspirations. They also received information about student finance, tuition fees, loans and financial support available to them. To support their understanding, students completed a budgeting activity focused on managing finances and planning living costs whilst at university.

Huge congratulations to all our Year 12 and 13 progress praise students. Staff nominated for students across their subjects who had made the most progress and had the highest attainment. Off the back all the nominations we had 8 lucky students  who won out of the draw! Prizes included Amazon vouchers and Echo Dots - keep up the great work sixth formers! 

Year 12 Law pupils recently learned about the significance of Stephen Lawrence Day, which is held annually on the 22 April, the anniversary of Stephen's death. The day was established by Prime Minister Theresa May, who wanted a national day of remembrance to honour Stephen's memory and to promote greater equality and inclusion in British society. 

Stephen Lawrence was a young black man, aged just 18, who was brutally murdered in a racist attack in London in 1993. Stephen was a promising student with ambitions to become an architect. Despite a lengthy police investigation, it took nearly 20 years for two of Lawrence's killers to be convicted.

The Stephen Lawrence case became a major symbol of the challenges of institutional racism. The 1999 Macpherson Report, led by Sir William Macpherson, found that the investigation was not handled well, there was a collective failure to provide an appropriate and professional service. The report recommended better training on racism and diversity. 

In their reflection, Year 12 students linked the story of Stephen Lawrence to our Fundamental British Values and Etone Values. They saw strong links to the importance of the Rule of Law, as well as the importance of Mutual Tolerance and Respect. There were also links established to the Etone Values of Caring and Integrity. 

Prisha G, a Year 12 student and one of our Diversity Ambassadors, has played an active role in co-delivering a series of multi-faith assemblies to younger pupils throughout this year. Alongside this, she has written two informative articles on key Hindu festivals, Navratri and Holi. We are proud to celebrate and represent a wide range of faiths and beliefs at Etone College Sixth Form, helping to broaden students’ understanding and appreciation of different religions and cultures! Well done Prisha!
