SIXTH FORM PRIVILEGES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Sixth Formers are made aware of the standards expected of them upon entry into the Sixth Form, both in the Induction week and at the beginning of the Autumn Term in Year 12. Students are treated as "young adults" and they are put in a position of trust when exercising their privileges and responsibilities. They are also put in a position of trust to use private study time wisely, in a self-disciplined way, in the School Library and quiet study rooms, when they have not got formal lessons or duties.

Sixth Formers are first on the lunch rota every day in the canteenand are allowed into town during the remainder of their lunchtimes, if they so wish. They must sign out in a Register kept in the vestibule, when they go out or return, as part of the regulations in case of fire. Those having packed lunches can eat their food in the very pleasant Manor gardens in the summer, or in the Common rooms. They have their own facilities for making coffee, tea, hot soup etc. in the Manor kitchens.

As part of their responsibilities, students are expected to set high standards of dress, manners and behaviour to the rest of the school, and to perform their duties reliably and efficiently, to use their private study time sensibly, help with the organisation of games activities, clubs and societies and to keep all Common room and Kitchen areas tidy in the Manor.

Assemblies
Sixth form students are expected to play a full part in the life of the whole school, including attending – and occasionally taking part in – assemblies. Pupils meet daily either in tutor groups, key stage assemblies or whole school assemblies which are conducted either by staff, pupils or outside speakers. A traditional school service is held at the end of each term. Assemblies are closely integrated with the life and work of the school, and they focus on what is of worth in a way which is appropriate to the age and aptitude of the pupils.
