Sixth form handbook

St. Joseph’s College Sixth Form has high expectations of all students and hold them to account as role models of the College.

As a member of St Joseph’s College Sixth Form I aim to:

Have a minimum of 95% attendance to all lessons and registrations
Attend punctually to all timetabled lessons including Enrichment, Registration, Assembly, General RE, PSHCE, Careers and Supported Study sessions
Ensure my parents/guardians report any absence as soon as possible to Mrs Arthur ([email protected] or call the College number and leave a voicemail)
If at all possible, make medical appointments outside the school day
Apply for pre-authorised leave of absence for university visits or medical appointments that take place during the school day
Sign in or out using my fob when arriving/leaving the College
Wear my identification card and lanyard around my neck at all times

To ensure academic success at Sixth Form I will:

Ensure every assignment, piece of coursework or homework is submitted on or before my teacher’s deadlines
Complete all classwork and homework to a high standard and to the best of my ability
Work hard towards achieving or exceeding my targets
Ask for help from staff to ensure support is being provided to meet my needs
Inform my tutor if there are circumstances that may affect my learning
Complete any work missed due to absence
Keep my folders tidy and up to date for each subject
Plan and manage deadlines and revision on an ongoing basis
Complete 15-20 hours of study outside of taught lessons each week
Make use of the Sixth Form study areas between the hours of 8.00am and 4:00pm
Take up opportunities offered for further study, work experience and leadership
Ensure that IT facilities are only used for the support of subject development/learning
Check emails daily to receive important messages from staff and for career opportunities

As part of the Sixth Form and wider SJC community I aim to:

Take an active part in the Sixth Form and College community and act as a role model for others in the school
Attend and perform duties at Open Evening
Adhere to the dress code and look smart at all times; no outdoor clothing to be worn indoors
Keep mobile phone and headphone use to the Sixth Form Centre and not use in full view of lower school students
Treat the Sixth form facilities with respect. This includes clearing away rubbish, cups and plates
Only consume water in study areas. All other food and drink should be consumed in the Sixth Form Common Room
Ensure the learning space is left as I found it
Respect the rules of each learning area

If I am not meeting the school’s expectations, I can expect:

To be sent home to change if I am not dressed in accordance with the College’s dress code
To be assigned additional hours of supported study if I am not managing my deadlines
To be placed on monitoring with my Tutor or the Head of Year for additional meetings and support
Restrictions to be placed on my privileges as a Sixth Form student
To be invited to a meeting, with my parents, to review my progress
To sit detentions for truanting or being late, and appropriate escalation where necessary
