Form Spaces
Sixth form students benefit from access to a range of exclusive spaces within the school These include the Sixth Form Study Room, the Sixth Form Common Room, and the Sixth Form Kitchen, equipped with a fridge, microwave, artisan coffee machine, and a selection of tea and coffee-making facilities. These areas are designated solely for the use of sixth form students, providing a comfortable and supportive environment tailored to their needs
Lunch Priority 04
Sixth Form students do not have a fixed lunch period on their timetable Instead, they are free to take lunch at any point during the two-hour lunch window allocated across both the Prep School and Senior School This flexibility allows students to manage their time more independently around lessons, study, and other commitments
Use of Mobile Phones 05
Sixth Form students are permitted to use their phones on the school site, unlike younger students However, we ask that this be done only in designated Sixth Form spaces or in lessons when directed to do so by a member of staff
