Expectations

At Highams Park Sixth Form we seek to nurture the individual talents of each student and support them in making informed decisions about their subjects, revision and next steps. We have high expectations and pursue the highest standards for all of our students, assisting them to become responsible, respectful and resilience citizens. 

In order to assist students during this process, each student is assigned to a Form Tutor when they enter the 6th Form who is one of your first ports of call for important information and any issues. Form Tutors, who students see every morning, are responsible for creating a positive environment for each student but they will also get to know each student and their performance in each subject very well which is imperative for those UCAS references. The 6th Form pastoral team is available to all students for support and encouragement but also, if necessary to contact parents and find solutions to problems.
