Sixth Form Masterclasses
The Harris Federation Sixth Form is running a series of online masterclasses this term in preparation for the Year 13 Autumn Assessments.
Sessions will be run by Harris Federation subject specialists and consultants and will cover specific content and skills related to each subject’s curriculum.
The sessions are interactive and designed for a live class, so we highly recommend you attend as if it were a normal online lesson. A register of attendance will be taken and shared with your subject teacher and Head of Sixth Form. You will need to be on a device that is logged into your O365 Harris account, ideally using Wi-Fi rather than mobile data.
Any questions should be directed to your subject teacher or Head of Sixth Form who have the details of the full programme of sessions.
Students will receive direct email invites to all sessions planned for the subjects they study. The list below will be updated as additional sessions are added.
