6th Form Survival Guide 2021

It’s important to plan your school study periods carefully – making sure you have decided beforehand what you are going to do, make sure you have the resources you need, don’t get distracted with music/YouTube/ messages etc. You may have several hours-worth of study periods through the week, so don’t waste them! We have a dedicated study session after dinner every night of the week apart from Friday. As a Sixth Former, you will automatically start in ‘B group’, which means you work unsupervised in your room during study time. If you find you are getting stressed or struggling, help is always available. Boarding Tutors, teachers, prefects and your peers are here to support you. Some of the tutors run extra sessions and revision clinics and one-to-one mentoring can also be arranged - please just ask! When you have demonstrated you are managing your time successfully, you may be moved into “A group”; you will not have to work during the dedicated study session after dinner, but remember most others in the house will be working so your activities during this time need to be considerate of them. 08/09
