Sixth Form Support
The Sixth Form Team
We want your time at Chesterfield High School Sixth Form to be happy and productive. The Sixth Form Progress Leader, two dedicated Student Support Managers, Sixth Form tutors and specialist subject teachers all operate in close consultation to give you the support and guidance you need with every step of your journey. You will meet your personal tutor twice a day. This offers you 1-to-1 advice and guidance on a regular basis.
The 16-19 Bursary
The Government provides additional funding to help 16 to 19-year-old students meet the costs associated with education, including meals, books, equipment and travel.
Eligible students may be able to access one of two types of financial support:
- Bursaries for students in defined vulnerable groups
- Discretionary bursaries
If you think you may be eligible, please read the 16-19 Bursary Statement below. This outlines the eligibility criteria, evidence requirements and application process in full.
Students currently studying in the Sixth Form who have previously received a 16-19 bursary should speak to the Sixth Form Learning Mentor regarding their application for continued support.
All applications and supporting evidence should be submitted by Monday 19 October 2026. This will enable us to assess the overall demand and distribute discretionary awards correctly and fairly. However, we do understand that needs may arise throughout the academic year, and we will still consider applications after this date where appropriate.
Assembly
We are a multi-ethnic, multi-talented and multi-faith community. Assembly takes place at least once a week, and gives all of our students time to reflect on the challenging questions that life offers.
Well-Being
We appreciate that there are changes as you move from Year 11 into Year 12, and we want to ensure that you feel safe and secure during your time with us. The weekly Personal Development sessions are designed to offer a programme of support and insight into social influences which may impact on your individual well-being
