Home study is an exclusive privilege for Sixth Form students who demonstrate consistently strong engagement, effort, and commitment to their studies.

Students may earn a home study on a weekly basis by meeting the following criteria:

  • Be in the top two students within their form group for positive Class Charts points
  • Have 0 negative behaviour points
  • Achieve 100% attendance for the week
  • Have 0 lates for the week


In addition, students can have a home study formally added to their timetable where they meet sustained expectations:

  • Year 12 students may have a home study added from January, provided their attendance, punctuality, and CTL (Commitment to Learning) meet minimum expected standards.
  • Year 13 students may have a home study added from September, provided their attendance, punctuality, and CTL meet minimum expected standards.
     

Expectations

Sixth Form students are expected to maintain:

  • High levels of attendance and punctuality, recognising their significant impact on attainment
  • Consistently strong attitudes to learning and behaviour
  • Positive engagement across all subjects

Strong attendance and punctuality are key indicators of a student who is dedicated, motivated, and well-organised, and are also important for university and employment applications.
 

Additional Information

  • All students must sign in and out using the attendance iPads when entering and leaving the Sixth Form.
  • Home study is a privilege, not a right, and will be reviewed regularly. It may be withdrawn if expectations are not maintained.
