Sixth Form Expectations

Study

The demands of Sixth Form study are great. The new ‘reformed’ A Levels require students to be on top of their studies at all times. They cannot afford to leave everything until the last few months – there is just too much to learn.

Not only is the quantity of what students are expected to acquire vast, but they are expected to demonstrate higher order intellectual skills alongside this.

To succeed, we advise that students do a minimum of 3 hours’ study per subject per week.

Learning

Students are expected to respect others’ right to learn in lessons, and when using other facilities; e.g. the study room, the library or computer rooms, they do not adversely affect the learning of others.

Attendance and Punctuality

Students are expected to attend all school sessions and to be punctual to both form time and lessons.

Behaviour

As a member of the Sixth Form, students will be a role model and a leader. Students are expected to set the correct example at all times. This includes following our Sixth Form dress code and the whole school behaviour policy.

Dress code

Students are expected to abide by our dress code at all times - smart business wear.
