#WhereStudentsExcel
These pages will provide you with much of the information that you will need to know before joining our Sixth Form at Cockermouth School.
Students who are joining us for our Induction Days will receive a personalised transition document, where we will ask you to confirm your subject choices, to inform us of a student that you would like to be in a form with and to commit to the expectations outlined in the information provided.
External candidates will also receive a copy of our Data Collection Forms that we will require to be completed ahead of joining us in September. If any current Cockermouth School students would like to update their information, copies will be available on request.
A copy of these forms is also available here which you can complete and send to us ahead of the induction days, but please ensure you complete and return by Monday 23 June 2025 either by:
- Completing electronically, saving to your own device and emailing to dataoffice@cockermouthschool.org (we advise password-protecting first)
- Printing and posting the completed forms to Data Assistant, Cockermouth School, Castlegate Drive, Cockermouth CA13 9HF
If you are unable to use either of these methods, we will ask you to complete a physical copy on Tuesday 24 June 2025.
Induction Days
We are excited to welcome Year 11 students back into Cockermouth School on Monday 23 June and Tuesday 24 June for our Induction Days.
Students will have the opportunity to visit departments and experience lessons, discuss subject choices, find out more about life in the Sixth Form and meet other students who are also hoping to join our outstanding Sixth Form.
If you have any questions about this event please email year11transition@cockermouthschool.org
Bridging Work
To prepare for September, all prospective Sixth Form students should complete the Bridging Work available on Firefly. These subject-specific resources will help ease the transition from GCSE to A level. Students must also complete the Sixth Form questionnaire and read the enrichment page.
Transport
Parents of students within catchment, who have received a conditional offer for our Sixth Form, will receive an email from our finance department asking if their child requires a place on a school bus.
If you haven’t received this email, or if you are yet to respond to the email please could we ask that you contact school and ask to speak to our finance office or alternatively email rennieh@cockermouthschool.org.
Students who live outside of the catchment area should contact transport providers directly to check the availability of bus places for September. The list of transport providers is available here.
Exam Results
All students who are looking to attend our Sixth Form will be invited to visit our Sixth Form Information Desk, once they have received their results.
Cockermouth School students who have met the entry requirements for the courses that they are wishing to study, will be able to confirm their place with us. Any students who are hoping to join us, but where there are issues with the courses that they have chosen to study, will be able to have a conversation with a member of staff to discuss their next steps.
Students who did not attend Cockermouth School are reminded to get in touch with us, either by contacting the school on (01900) 898888 or by emailing us year11transition@cockermouthschool.org. Students who have met the entry requirements for the courses that they wish to study, will be able to confirm their place with us, by sending an electronic copy of their results to this email address.
