Sixth Form Prospectus King Solomon High School 2011

Absence
If you are absent from school, please telephone Mrs Ezra before the
start of the school day; we will ensure that the register is correct.
Appearance
Sixth Formers should be smart at all times as they set the standard for the
whole school. The dress code should be adhered to at all times.
Attendance
Attendance at all lessons is compulsory. Failure to be at a lesson without
good reason leads to disciplinary measures being taken. You are expected to be in
school from 8:30 until 3:30pm. If you have no lesson during Period 6 then you can
leave school via the security gate at 2:35pm.
Careers
Careers interviews are arranged through Connexions from the start of the autumn
term. You can request one or wait until your form group is selected.
Entrance To the Sixth Form
Students should normally have a minimum of six GCSE passes at grade C
or above, including English Language and Mathematics. Where a student wishes to
pursue a subject at AS/A2 level that was taken for GCSE, then we would normally
expect a minimum of a B grade in that subject at GCSE level. There are some exceptions
to this particularly where the subject has not been offered at GCSE.
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)
Higher Education awards are handled by Redbridge and Essex Education Authorities
and Students on the EMA scheme will receive their weekly allowance and the twice
yearly bonus provided that they fulfil the requirements of their EMA contract.
Holidays
We strongly disapprove of students absence for holidays in school time.
The school will accept no responsibility for a student poor academic
performance in such cases. Prospective students should be aware that
academic work re-commences in Y12 at the end of AS exams and
therefore holidays should not be booked between that time and the end of
the summer term.
