Home Study
We like all Y12 students to be on site for the first
6 weeks to get to know each other and to build
friendships
l After this, all Y12 are entitled to apply for Home
Study
l Home Study entitlement is reviewed after each
round of data tracking, and is based on Attitude to
Learning scores rather than results or progress
l
Study periods
To help students develop independent learning
skills and time management, they have 3 periods
of dedicated study on their timetable a week. Two
of these are registered and supervised in the LRC.
l This provides an ideal opportunity for students
to further explore their subjects and depth of
understanding beyond the classroom
l We have a variety of dedicated study spaces
around the campus where Sixth Formers can study
in silence or in groups when they are not in these
timetabled Supervised Study periods.
l
Personal Development
Students are timetabled into 1 period of RHSE
a fortnight, through which they develop the
knowledge, skills and attributes they need to
keep themselves healthy, safe and prepared for
life and work.
l The topics explored will ensure that students
continue to learn about issues with real-life
relevance to them, at a crucial transition point in
their lives.
