Sixth Form Expectations
Sixth Form students at Chesterfield High School will be expected to behave responsibly and act as a role model to all the pupils on the site. Student conduct in and around school should reflect a Sixth Formers age and position as a senior in the school. We require students to act as role models in all that they say and do so that the good name of Chesterfield High School is upheld and maintained.
Sixth Form Dress Code
Attendance
Level 3 Qualifications are rigorous courses, therefore maintaining an excellent attendance and punctuality record is a prerequisite for academic success. Exemplary attendance for University applications, work placements or apprenticeship schemes is crucial and is therefore a priority for all Sixth Formers. All students are required to be on site for 8.30am until 1.10pm. During independent study periods students are expected to undertake their work. We expect students to be self managers when it comes to their own learning and using time wisely. Where students are flagged as being behind with their work a directed and more structured timetable will be enforced. Students should not make appointments during the school day and parents are required to report any absence before 8.50am each day. Pupils are not permitted to self-certify. Any request for an absence must be completed and signed by a parent or carer. This should be handed directly to either the Year 12 or 13 Student Support Manager.
Poor attendance and punctuality will instigate procedures which affect the completion of courses chosen.
