Cars, Bikes and Motorbikes

• Students may park motorbikes inside the school gates in the designated area.
• There isn’t enough room for student cars inside the school car park; Fairfield Road or other areas must be used.
• Bikes should be put in the safety cycle sheds; any other place is unsafe.

Mobile phones and portable devices

• The general ban on these does not apply to Sixth Formers, who may use them in amenity areas but not when walking around the school site.

Sport

• If students wish to use the sports facilities outside the timetabled Leisure lessons, they should see Mrs Van Hinsbergh. They should also wear appropriate kit.

Sixth Form Study Areas

• Students should be aware of the needs of others and work quietly there.
• A list of free rooms for every lesson of the week will be posted outside the sixth form office and outside the Library to permit Year 13 students who want to talk quietly about their work to do so.

Dress

• There is no formal uniform and students are permitted to choose their own clothes for school. However extreme dress style is not appropriate in school and students will be asked to go home and change.
• Hair colour must be within the normal range: extreme colours will be unacceptable.
• For formal occasions such as open days and prize evenings students will be asked to dress formally

These regulations are important to the wellbeing of the sixth form as a community within the school. Should there be any need for individual requests regarding any aspect of these rules students should in the first instance discuss their needs with Ms Hale.
