You should complete the yellow trips and visits form which are outside the Sixth Form Office in the pigeon holes. The forms are printed on yellow paper. All teachers must sign this to say they agree with you going and you need to arrange to complete the work you will miss. The form should be submitted to Edwina Danks in the Sixth Form Office.

All Sixth Form students are registered during form time at 8:40am. Should you be arriving at an alternative time or leaving the school site for any reason, you must sign in and sign out at the Sixth Form Office.

Absolutely. All that we ask is that you sign our Personal Device Agreement (which must be countersigned by your parent/guardian). Then we enable your device to access our high speed broadband connection. 

On Wednesday afternoon you may take part in games/sport/PE at school or offsite. You may also use Wednesday afternoons for volunteering opportunities or driving lessons. Paid work is not permitted.

You may book lessons during the day from 1:30pm onwards but they should be arranged to avoid your subject lessons and permission must be sought from the Sixth Form Team.  We realise for driving/theory TESTS you are requested to go on certain dates we will of course permit you to go, but you must advise the subject teacher whose lesson you may miss before leaving school and complete the appropriate forms.

This is the grade you should be able to achieve at the end of your course if you work to your full potential making use of all resources available to you. The target grade is calculated based on your GCSE grades using a government tool. However your target grade is not your limit, only you can reach your full potential so we say your target grade should be whatever aspirational grade you think you can achieve.

Attitude to Learning or A2L provides you with a snapshot of how you are performing in each of your subjects. Your teacher will provide you with a grade three times in the academic year telling you how you are performing. The report will state if you are performing at, above or below your target grades in each subject. You can use your A2L to set yourself personal targets with your tutor during discussions. Your parents should consider A2L as an overview of how you are performing. If you have any subject specific concerns, you should speak to your subject teacher in the first instance. They will easily be able to help you set targets and give you ideas on how to improve. Your parents are welcome to contact either the Curriculum Leads, Deputy Head of Sixth Form or Head of Sixth Form if they have any concerns. Heads of Year and Head of Sixth Form may contact home if A2L is consistently or particularly poor in more than one area of study.

It is imperative that you give subjects a fair chance, especially if it is a subject you have not done before such as Psychology or Economics. Initially, if you want to change subjects, please speak to the subject teacher of the subjects you are currently in and the teacher of the group you wish to go to in the first instance to make sure the subject is right for you. You will then need to see a member of the Sixth Form Team.

You will continue with your A Level courses.

Registration and Assembly are key parts of Sixth Form life. You will use registration to meet regularly with your tutor. This is essential for tracking progress and building relationships for UCAS references. Assembly is fundamental for sharing all information on future careers and higher/further education. You might miss key information if you miss these sessions. All references ask us to comment on punctuality and attendance and we will often be asked to state how many times the student has been late or absent in the last 12 months.
