Harlington has high expectations for Sixth Form students. The onus is on the individual to make the most effective use of their study time in order to maximise their chances of success.
All students are expected to;
- Achieve 100% attendance. An attendance record of less than 95% in any subject or tutorial will jeopardise chances of continuation of the course and progression from Year 12 to Year 13 programmes of study, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Some courses require attendance after school as part of the extended day timetable – the 100% rule still applies
- Notify subject staff and my tutor of any planned absence and phone the attendance officer if absence is due to illness
- Be punctual to both tutorial and taught lessons, and follow agreed procedures for signing in and out
- Behave in a way that ensures that I am a positive role model for younger students
- Be polite , courteous and respectful towards other students and staff
- Contribute to a studious environment that promotes independent learning in the Sixth Form Study Centre
- Meet deadlines for all work set; failure to do so may result in a discussion about continuation of the course concerned
- Work independently, making appropriate use of the Sixth Form Study Centre
- Participate fully in lessons and commit to studying ‘out of hours’ – at least 4 hours per week, per subject
- Understand that success in the Sixth Form depends on a high level of commitment to ‘out of hours’ independent study
- Prioritise school work over and above part-time employment
- Take every opportunity to play an active role in the school community
- Take responsibility for my own learning and career development
- Come to school fully equipped and show organisational ability by keeping up-to-date with filing and management of work
