Leadership, Study Periods, Dress Code and Student Parking

Leadership

There are a wide variety of leadership opportunities in the Sixth Form.

The leadership team, chosen in the Spring Term of Year 12, is made up of Prefects, who carry out a number of duties around the school, and Mentors, who work with tutor groups at Key Stage 3.

The leadership team has a considerable degree of autonomy and fresh ideas as to how to improve the experience of students in the Sixth Form are always welcomed.

The Head Girl, together with her two deputies, manage the leadership team, reporting to the Head with whom they meet weekly. In addition to the above, girls have the opportunity to set up clubs, take part in debates, represent the school in the MUN competition, run Culture Club or present Litlunch sessions.

The opportunities for making a mark are wide and varied.

Study periods

Students are expected to remain on site for the whole of the school day. During periods where there are no formal lessons scheduled, they should use their time to study, read and research.

Supervised study runs once a week on a Thursday after school, from 4pm-6pm in W5. As the name implies, this is a chance to work under silent, supervised conditions enabling students to finish homework before going home.

Students are strongly encouraged to attend. They should book into the sessions by informing Tory who will keep a record of their attendance.

Dress code

The dress code in the Sixth Form is designed to allow girls to dress smartly and to take pride in their appearance. Girls must wear a jacket with a dress, skirt or smart trousers.

Jackets may be removed during lessons. Formal shoes such as brogues, loafers, pumps or smart boots must be worn. Sportswear of any type, including trainers, is not permitted.

Student Parking

There is no space for student parking on site. The on-road parking outside the Sixth Form has a four hour parking restriction.

We take no responsibility for cars parked nearby or the transport arrangements of the students.

Parents are strongly advised to monitor the travel plans of their daughters.
