A Typical Sixth Form Day

Set over two mezzanine floors in the heart of the School, the light and modern Sixth Form Centre is the perfect place to start each day. There are comfy areas for both working and socialising, with hot and cold food available from the Brasserie.

A choice of hot and cold breakfast is available for the whole school in the main Senior Dining Hall. Parents are welcome to join us too!

Great for students that want to start their day by catching up on some work, borrowing a laptop or taking out a good book.

Depending on the day, students either register in their Tutor or Form groups.

Tutor Sets meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays; each group is comprised of twenty four pupils of all ages. The Friday sessions are split, with the Tutor working closely with the Sixth Form Pupils and the Assistant Tutor with Years 7 – 11. On Mondays and Thursdays there are assemblies, some whole-school and other Sixth Form specific.

This is when the morning lessons start. Each period lasts for an hour and there is a short transfer time between each one, so students can get to where they need to be. Morning break is from 11:20am – 11:40am and allows for a quick recharge before the final lesson of the morning.

Lunch break is nice and long here at the High School, allowing students to have a break for food and to get involved in clubs and activities if they choose. Some students like a full sit-down meal in the Dining Hall while others prefer to Grab-and-Go or get take out food from the Brasserie; this allows more time to participate in activities or relax in our outdoor Sixth Form area. Once refuelled, students can get involved in one of our wide array of co-curricular opportunities taking place here every day. They can also hop on a tram and travel the 2 minutes into the city centre if they prefer.

After some time spent recharging, students hit the ground running again with their period 4 and 5 classes.

If they’re not taking part in any after-school activities, students can grab one of our many school buses or make their own way home. If they’re waiting to be picked up or want to get some extra work done, they’re welcome to stay in our Sixth Form Centre or Library.

Time to go home!
