Working Relationships, Rewards and Sanctions, and Guidelines for Trips

Working relationships

In line with the above statement, relationships in the Sixth Form should be conducted in a spirit of respect and courtesy. Physical and verbal demonstrations of feeling, either of anger or intimacy, are unacceptable. All students are expected to treat each other and staff with respect. Staff are expected to treat their students fairly and candidly.

Reward and sanctions

We want every student to feel appreciated and successful in all they achieve. When a student produces outstanding work or demonstrates impressive commitment, a letter of commendation will be sent home either by the Head or the Head of Sixth Form.

If a student causes concerns for failing to complete work or to attend compulsory events such as PSHEE or Sixth Form assemblies, she will be given a warning which is recorded by her tutor and by the Head of Sixth Form.

The warning is a way of acknowledging formally that there is a problem that needs to be resolved, by handing in missed work or by improving behaviour.

If the situation does not improve, parents may be invited in to discuss the matter and the student put into a Thursday detention to complete any missing work.

Guidelines for trips

When your daughter joins the Sixth Form you are required to fill in a parental/guardian consent for visits which will be used for her whole time in the Sixth Form.

This is a GDST requirement. Without this form a student cannot go on any trips. Should any details change (i.e. contact/medical details) please inform the school office by email (royalhigh@ rhsb.gdst.net) or by letter. When a student is invited to go on a trip, a letter with all the relevant details will be sent via Firefly.
