AAESS Student Expectations AIMS The aims are to: create a calm, considerate and safe environment in which students can maximize their learning potential; provide an environment which allows students to bridge the gap between their experiences of school and higher education; provide an environment within which the uniquely individual value of each student is recognised and appreciated; promote a fair system which recognises and rewards achievement; and ensure that students understand clearly what is expected of them and what they may expect from administrative and teaching staff. New Sixth Form students are asked to read and sign a ‘Learning Agreement’, (copies available from the Head of Sixth Form). It summarises the expectations which we have of our students and their behaviour whilst also defining staff obligations for dealing with Sixth Form students. SPECIFIC ISSUES Absence If a student has been absent s/he is expected to produce an absence note on the day of return. If the absence is for more than one day s/he (or parent) should ring the secondary school office to inform the Head of Sixth Form of the reason for absence and the likelihood of length of time away. Absence from individual lessons is taken very seriously. Any student whose poor attendance in class is causing concern will be seen by the Head of Sixth Form and parents may be contacted either initially or after the student has been given the chance to improve attendance. Students are expected to be present at 7.50 am and will only be marked as present if they are in the room. Any student who arrives at registration after 7.55 am is marked as late and must sign in at the Secondary School Office. If a form tutor is concerned about a student’s poor attendance a letter will be sent to the student’s parents and the student warned that the problem must be remedied. Created by Nasser Lone 2011 6
AAESS Student Expectations Mobile telephones Sixth Formers may only use mobile phones in the social area of the Sixth Form i.e. the Common room outside of normal lesson times. They MUST be switched off during lessons and should not be used around the school site or in the study area. Computers Computers are available for use during study periods in the Sixth Form Centre and in the ICT labs, (students must seek permission from the Head of ICT to use labs during other classes). Users must log off after use and close down the computer. THE COMPUTERS MUST BE CLOSED DOWN BY 3.00pm EACH DAY unless any students is working late and closes the computer before she leaves the area. ALL students must sign the Schools Computer User Policy Unsatisfactory performance (e.g. poor attendance, failure to meet deadlines, failure to prepare for/ attend examinations) Any student whose academic performance is unsatisfactory is dealt with on an individual basis. Initially the Head of Sixth Form will interview the students. Targets will be set and if these are not met parents/carers will be asked to attend a meeting with the Head of the Sixth Form and Headteacher and a contract will be drawn up. If the terms of the contract are not met within a specified time the student may lose her Sixth Form place. Pastoral Care Rewarding of effort At certain key points in the year the Head of Sixth Form sends out congratulatory letters to Sixth Formers whose reports and/or exam results show evidence of substantial effort and academic attainment. The exact dates are dependent on the time of year when progress assessments take place. Each member of the Sixth Form develops and maintains a close relationship with a Form Tutor who has contact with each student on a day to day basis. As well as this constant support, the Head of Sixth Form is available to help and support students with personal or academic matters. This ‘Open Door’ policy is maintained in all aspects of Sixth Form life. Sixth Formers are also welcome to speak to the Headteacher or Deputy Head at any time. Created by Nasser Lone 2011 7
