Please read the following information carefully regarding Study Leave for Year 11.

Year 11 students will be required to be in school and attend all lessons until Saturday 13 May 6pm. The only exceptions are:

• those pupils involved in Art exams on 25 and 26 April

• pupils taking a language oral exam may excuse themselves from lessons 30 minutes before the start of their oral exam, but during this time they must be present in the MFL department where a supervised preparation room has been arranged.

 

From Monday 15 May until half term, teachers will still be available at normal lesson times to supervise revision. Pupils are expected to attend to take advantage of the expertise and support available to them when they are not involved in exams. After half term, pupils can still request additional support from their teachers by contacting them and arranging this separately; teachers might not be available at the normal lesson times. 

Year 11 students are expected back into school for the Sixth Form Induction and Speech Day from Tuesday 27 June to Friday 30 June. Further details of the programme will be provided in due course. 

 

While on study leave, pupils in school are expected to follow the normal pattern of the school day. They are still required to wear school uniform when not in House during the normal working day. They must attend normal registration in House, but it is not compulsory for them to attend chapel/assembly. If they do not attend they are expected to be working/revising from 8.30am. During the normal school day, they are expected to work either in House or in the library. Sixth Form may also work in the Sixth Form Centre, the coffee shop or in the work areas of the Marshall Centre. Normal school rules apply including those about school boundaries and walking into the village.
 

Throughout the summer term, most activities are no longer compulsory, as pupils may attend revision sessions or revise in house instead, with the exception of:

• Orchestra - pupils are expected to attend until the exeat weekend (end of April), after which point attendance would be appreciated if possible

• Art/DT workshops - continue as normal until study leave (or exam, whichever is sooner!)

• Sport - compulsory until study leave (and then pupils are still expected to represent school in fixtures)

• CCF - compulsory until the exeat weekend for Year 11 and Upper Sixth
