All staff at Kings want Sixth Form students to aspire to great things, lead themselves and others, and to succeed in their chosen path.
We do this by upholding high expectations and creating opportunities for students to explore experiences that will develop them into interesting, engaging and proactive citizens of the world.
This could be in South Africa through the Huckleberry Foundation, on Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, mentoring younger students, taking a school ambassador role, department trips, school productions, participating in the school council or sixth form common room committee.
The opportunities are extremely broad within a school environment and as such we wholeheartedly believe in the value of Kings having a Sixth Form and in the Sixth Form having Kings.
How do we do this?
At Kings we believe there are five distinct aspects about a sixth form student that we focus upon to help them be the best they can be in both their academic and personal development.
ASPIRATION | WHAT’S YOUR PURPOSE AND NEXT DESTINATION? Fortnightly meeting with tutor |
ATTENDANCE | LESS THAN 100% IS UNACCEPTABLE Weekly tracker of unexplained absences |
ATTITUDE | NOTHING BUT YOUR BEST EFFORTS ALL THE TIME Fortnightly tracker from teachers |
ATTAINMENT | DOING THE RIGHT THING TO HIT YOUR ALPS TARGET Half termly module tracker and target discussions with teachers |
AFFILIATION | BEING A ROLE MODEL ACROSS THE WHOLE SCHOOL Fortnightly meeting with tutor & house token tracker |
Should any students not perform to the level we would expect of them in order to progress to where they deserve to go, then we have a number of supportive interventions in place to help them get back on track and develop the characteristics below:
- Determination
- Positivity
- Respect
- Commitment
- Self-Control
