We have our final sixth form open afternoon today (Friday 10 January) at 1pm. We're looking forward to meeting you!

We had a fantastic sixth form open afternoon today. It was great to welcome so many people; we hope that you all had a good time as well!

We're very excited that our new Sixth Form prospectus is now live on the website! Here is the link: swgs.wilts.sch.uk/SWGSFiles/…

Here are some of the adventurers' tools of the trade...

Students enjoyed a fantastic talk at lunchtime. Today's topic was "Who wants to be a ... adventurer and polar traveller to Antarctica?

We had a superb afternoon at the Creative Industries Conference, with some fascinating talks. Here's Rich Lloyd in action, discussing his work which involves creating software using 3D games, virtual reality and augmented reality to create visualisations and simulations.

Today is our Oxbridge Awareness and Raising Aspirations Day. It's been fantastic to welcome so many schools. Y11 have been introduced to university applications, and Oxbridge; Y12 have had a session on applying to Oxbridge; and Y13 have an interview workshop.

Some of our Y12 enrichment students have been exploring the issue of marketing and social media strategies, and gave a superb presentation to the Senior Leadership Team this morning.

We are looking forward to welcoming prospective sixth form students and their parents to our first open afternoon. Tours from 1pm and run all afternoon, with talks at 2.30 and 3.30.

In all, it's been an excellent and thought-provoking day. Thank you to all involved.

Students also enjoyed a talk from the National Citizen Service.

We are very grateful to Claire Perry, the MP for Devizes and Minister of State at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, who was our keynote speaker. She is pictured here with Mrs Chilcott, our Headteacher, and one of our sixth form organisers.
