Hartismere and Debenham want a consensus
approach to the ‘social sixth’. We want your two years here to be happy and
to benefit you personally. You will have your own centre which will contain
most of your tutorial space, and your own common room for which you will be
responsible. There will be no school uniform but you will be asked to dress
tidily. There will be a student-elected Sixth Form Council which will be the
centre of student matters and liaison, and which will organise social
events, trips out and which will encourage you to contribute to the rest of
the school and become involved in community projects.
The Hartismere facilities allow for all
sports normally followed, e.g. football, netball, basketball, tennis, rugby,
athletics, gymnastics, table tennis, badminton etc. while transport is
available to take you to Debenham where the sports facilities range from a
fitness room to squash courts. Swimming sessions, golf, horse-riding,
sailing and other alternatives will be arranged for those of you are keen to
pursue out of centre activities.
The new library has not only been designed
for light and space but also for excellent researching possibilities and for
private study. It has six study stations with information retrieval, tapes
and headphones or computerised information; alternatively, they can be used
for private study. The system will be networked and information can be
assessed from there and from the new, well-equipped Information Technology
suite. The new Art room and the new Science rooms have been specifically
designed with the needs of the Sixth Form in mind.
