Although you will be following few subjects, you
have to work very hard to achieve the results at this higher level.
Presumably you will have chosen subjects which interest you, and will be
pre-disposed to study them in depth. Your tutors will provide you with the
academic framework and encouragement necessary for you to succeed, but you
will be expected to adopt a mature attitude to your own studies and involve
yourself with general life of the Sixth Form.
Once in the Sixth Form you will be assigned
to a tutor group with a member of staff to be of assistance to you, to
encourage you and to help support your progress. It will be his/her
responsibility to compile profiles and to report to your parents/guardians.
Your tutor will monitor your attendance and academic/social development and
will ensure that you know how to find the best advice on post eighteen
progress. If you choose to go to university, then the UCAS forms needed for
application purposes have to be filled in at the beginning of your second
year sixth. Your tutor will help you organise yourself if you need it and
will be the person you would turn to if any problems should arise over the
two years.
