A Typical Week

All pupils throughout the school follow the same timings of the day with an alternating Week A and Week B timetable.

Unlike the rest of the school, a Sixth Former would expect to have each of their subjects each day, as well as at least one study period in the Sixth Form Centre. Furthermore, they would expect to have either sport or activities during their day.

As well as this, Sixth Formers, depending on their level of responsibility, are expected to assist in their house, speak in Assembly, help with duty at meal times or generally be part of different committees. Sixth Formers have busy days and this is why a focus on time management is fundamental, to ensure that they achieve all that they want to and more during these two years.

On Thursday and Saturday evenings, Sixth Form pupils can unwind at The Shep Bar, a dedicated Sixth Form social space designed to offer a relaxed, adult-style environment in which to spend time with friends. As a vibrant hub for both day and boarding pupils, it provides a welcoming setting to socialise and enjoy the privileges of Sixth Form life.

From Monday to Thursday, the Library is open between 6.30pm and 8.30pm, offering support with university and apprenticeship applications as well as a calm, purposeful space for independent work and wider reading.

Sixth Form Dinners are also regularly held on Thursday evenings, providing a further opportunity to come together as a year group and strengthen the sense of community that defines Sixth Form life.
