Diploma milestones and core logs
Record programme milestones and reflection/supervision notes for review with a mentor or coordinator.
Sixth-form enrichment coordinator
I coordinate sixth-form enrichment through independent research, service and a skills portfolio, using clear milestones to protect time for these commitments alongside A Level study and revision.
Explore the collectionI coordinate an enrichment strand alongside A Levels. It brings together an independent research project, a service commitment and a skills portfolio, giving students different kinds of work to organise and reflect on during sixth form.
The challenge is protecting time for this work when revision becomes the main pressure. I want students to be able to continue their projects and commitments rather than seeing enrichment as something that can be set aside until exams are over. Clear milestones and manageable planning can help keep the work visible alongside subject study.
I look for resources that help students define a question, organise their next steps and record what they have learned. A portfolio can support reflection, but it should describe actual work rather than promise what a university or employer will value. I want the strand to have a clear purpose in its own right and a realistic place in students’ schedules.
