FAQs, Bulletins & Sixth Form Information
Here are a few of the most popular questions we get asked. You can also check the last page of our prospectus for more FAQs if your question isn’t answered below.
Past issues of our Bulletins are included below + the Sixth Form Information booklet.
Do Sixth Formers have their own facilities?
There is a Sixth Form Cafe and a large Sixth Form Study Space. Once Phase 2 of the building is completed next year, the Sixth Form Study Space will be in the new block and will include a Sixth Form section in the School Library.
What is the dress code?
Students can wear their own clothes for Sixth Form, which are appropriate for school. Hats or hoods inside the school building are not allowed. They have to wear a Sixth Form lanyard with an ID card at all times.
Can Sixth Formers use mobile phones?
Sixth Form students are allowed to use their phones within the Sixth Form facilities. They must not be visible at all on the rest of the school site, in order to comply with the whole school policy.
Do students have to stay on site for the whole school day?
Sixth form students receive a timetable which includes subject lessons, tutor time and supervised study periods. They also have independent study periods. Students can leave the site during those independent periods, although we advise most students to stay on site to complete their work. Students must use their ID card to access and exit the school site. Some students may wish to go off site at lunchtime.
Am I allowed to change subjects in September?
Once timetables are given to students there is limited availability during the first two weeks of term to change course.
What if I don’t get the grades for my course choices?
On Enrolment Day, you’ll have the chance to discuss your results and your course choices with a member of the Sixth Form team. If they feel your grades indicate that you wouldn’t be able to cope with your preferred courses, they will try to offer you alternatives that will enable you to progress successfully, subject to availability within the class.
Bulletins
We publish a regular Sixth Form Bulletin for our students and their parents / carers. Most recent issues will be uploaded here.
