Sixth Form Student Guide Common Rooms When entering the Sixth Form here at Stafford Grammar, you will find yourself blessed with your very own Common Rooms. You have a purpose built suite of rooms in the new building. The large Common Room has a large kitchen, with a tiled floor area, for drinking and eating. You will also be able to relax and work in this room. There are also two work rooms – one for quiet discussion, the Amber Room, and one for silent study, the Red Room. University information is in the Amber Room and the Red Room includes your tutors’ office. You have a responsibility to treat your Common Rooms with respect. If any accidents happen, you must report them to a tutor immediately. If there is any damage, you must take responsibility. As young adults preparing to go to university or the world of work, you must keep your Common Rooms clean and tidy. The Common Room Committee, which is separate from the prefect team, organises and runs the Sixth Form Centre. Above all, this is your very own haven from the rest of the school – it’s up to you to retain this privilege. Signing in and out As a Sixth Former, you have the privilege to roam more freely, but the School still needs to know where you are. Registering takes place at 8.50am, and it is vital that you are both punctual and quiet, or else face the wrath of your Sixth Form tutors! During lunchtimes you may leave the school grounds, but you must sign yourself out and in again – don’t rely on one person to sign out a large group of you. The book can be found in the School Office and outside the Head of Sixth Form’s Office. If you are late for registration, you MUST sign in too. If you are away for any reason, help yourself to an Absence Form (to be found outside the Head of Sixth Form’s Office), tick the relevant box, get it signed by a parent and return it to your tutor as soon as possible. As you begin to investigate to which universities or apprenticeships you may want to apply, most institutions will offer ‘open days’ for you to look round – you are permitted to attend a maximum of three days during term-time, and do try to look at as many as possible either at weekends or during holidays. Many of you will be learning to drive in the Lower Sixth, but this is no excuse to be absent yourself from school! Driving tests may be unavoidable (just remember to sign yourself out), but lessons should not be organised during the school day. 5
