27. 16-19 Bursary The government has provided a substantial sum to assist Sixth Form students overcome barriers to their learning which come from financial hardship. The bursary is designed to help with the costs of such things as transport, books, specialist clothing and essential trips. This help is dependent on the applicants maintaining acceptable standards of attendance and academic progress. The Bursary is a termly payment paid to students to cover the costs of studying after the age of 16. In order to be paid, students eligible must undertake the following responsibilities: 1. 100% attendance of lessons programmed within their course to include tutorials, private study and assemblies. 2. College must be notified by 9.00am every day of absence, on the Post-16 absence phone line. 3. If absence is longer than 3 days a letter is required from home. 4. Any pre-arranged absences should be notified by means of the Pink Form. 5. A positive progress review, ATL and behavior is required. Any individual who consistently fails to meet expectations will have their payment withheld. In extreme situations, payments can be withheld immediately. Any sixth former who is in care, leaving care, in receipt of income support, or is disabled and receiving Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance, will be entitled to a bursary. On top of this, the College may make discretionary bursary awards to sixth formers facing financial hardship, to help with their costs towards transport, books, equipment or other course requirements. 28. ISIC and NUS As a student you may apply for Proof of Age cards, International Student Identity Cards, UCAS cards and NUS cards. Further information can be obtained from the Sixth Form Office. They will enable you to obtain discounts in this country and abroad. The Sixth Form Office can provide letters as proof that you are a TTC Sixth Form student. 29. Private Study A significant component of Post-16 life is time allocated during the working day for private study. This is not a replacement for homework, but is a necessary addition to it. You may use this time to complete tasks and assignments, to read around subjects or to extend your general education and knowledge. All courses require that you do a great deal of work beyond the timetabled class work. The way you use your study periods will be crucial to achieving success. Your tutor will help you timetable your study periods. The facilities that are available to you are: the LRC (for quiet reading/study/ICT), the Study Base (for group work/independent study/ICT - students may sign out laptops in the study base), and the cafeteria (for group work). Some departments also have resources to support independent study. When the weather allows you may use the designated outdoor spaces. Every student will have private study periods allocated to their timetable. Mostly these are likely to take place in the study base. James Saunders Page 17 31/08/12
