Our Sixth Form is a preparation for A-levels, university and life itself – but it is also a wonderful experience in its own right. This is a period of major exploration when students are encouraged to broaden their perspective, take on new roles and lead the community.

 

An approach which creates successful individuals

All Sixth Form students are role models for the rest of the Senior School and our Head Students lead the student body.

In the summer term, Year 12 students are invited to apply for a Head Student position. Positions are allocated on the basis of a written letter of application, an interview with the Headteacher and Head of Sixth From and observation of the student’s general conduct throughout the year as well as their ability to fulfil the duties expected of them.

Head Students will begin their duties in the autumn term of Year 13.

The aims of the Sixth Form Head Students:

• Work as a team to ensure that all Sixth Form members have the opportunity to develop the academic and personal skills needed to achieve their true potential
• Meet regularly with the Head of Sixth Form to ensure the smooth running of the Sixth Form
• Ensure that the Common Room and kitchen are kept tidy
• Liaise with staff and students in the Senior and Prep departments on a regular basis
• Promote the Sixth Form via assemblies and whole school events
• Attend Open Day, Bonding Day, Sixth Form Open Evening and other relevant whole school events
• Run charity events to raise money for worthwhile causes
• To show visitors around the school
• Organise the Careers Library / Higher Education resources
• Organise Leavers’ Assembly / Meal and ‘Hoodies’
• Set a good example to their peers and other students in the school through their appearance and general conduct.
