Independent Learning
• Independent learning is of key importance in Sixth Form
• Students have to use their time effectively
• We expect the girls to use the library and sixth form study areas to work independently or in small study groups.
• After a successful induction period and positive reports from subject teachers off site study can be timetabled for an afternoon session, ONCE only per week
• This will be from the week beginning 13th October.
