LaSWAP Open Evening and early close on 27th November
The Sixth Form Open Evening takes place on Thursday 27th November across our school site and that of Parliament Hill School. To prepare for this event we will be dismissing students at 1.10pm on that day.
Students will be registered by their Form Tutor at 1pm on this day and will be able to get a grab-and-go lunch from the canteen before leaving at 1.10pm.
The following day, Friday 28th November, will be a Staff Professional Development Day and school will be closed.
Making the most of LaSWAP Open Evening: Thursday 27 November at Parliament Hill/William Ellis schools@ 4.30 – 7.30pm
2025 was the best ever year for A level and BTEC results at LaSWAP and over 80% of students based at WES got into their first-choice university. We are really proud of our sixth form which is now a destination of choice for students from across London.
We are looking forward to seeing Y11 students and their families at LaSWAP Open evening on Thursday 27 November. Booking has been going very well and over 50 places have so far been booked by William Ellis students. Don’t worry if you haven’t yet secured a place, there are still some slots available via this booking link.
Remember that students must be accompanied by an adult to Open Evening. If any parent cannot attend, please get in touch with your child’s tutor or Mr Pratt to make alternative arrangements. We want everyone in the year group to see what’s on offer at our over-subscribed sixth form. For example, while you might be familiar with the WES curriculum, did you know that some of the more niche subjects LaSWAP offers include:
- A level Classics & Latin
- A level Textiles & Photography & Product Design
- A level Dance & Drama
- A Level Psychology & Further Maths
- T-Levels in Digital Software Design, Media Broadcast & Production & Marketing
- BTEC Sports Leadership (Level 2 and Level 3)
On arrival on the evening, please head for the main student entrance at Parliament Hill School and make sure you have your QR code ready for scanning. We do not allow people in before their booked time slot so stage your arrival accordingly as you will not want to be shivering outside in a long queue!
I recommend heading to one of the Headteacher talks first for an overview of LaSWAP and then plan which subjects you want to visit. If your time is limited, visit subjects that you are less familiar with (Economics rather than Maths, for example) so that you leave feeling fully informed. There will be student ambassadors stationed across both sites wearing bright LaSWAP t-shirts; if you need anything, please ask them. Good questions to ask them are, ‘why did you choose to come to LaSWAP?’ and ‘what is the biggest difference between Y11 and sixth form?’
Sixth form is not just about academic study. Make sure you factor in enough time to visit the sixth form study space where you can find out about enrichment, pastoral support and what support is available for student with additional educational needs.
Applications for LaSWAP will be launched with students via tutors in January 2026. Closing date for applications is 27 February 2026.
