Independent study and cover

The primary purpose of the Sixth Form Study Centre is for study and independent learning. Students are expected to arrive to study periods on time so as not to disturb others who are already working silently in the rooms. If a lesson is being covered, a register of your attendance will be taken by the member of staff supervising. You must complete all set work for the covered lesson as you will be asked to submit the work at the end of the lesson.

You must attend all appointments that have been scheduled; coaching, mentoring, career advice, interventions etc. these have been arranged for your benefit and to ensure that you are making good progress in the 6th form.
