Useful Information

The 16-19 Bursary Fund is used to support students remaining in post-16 education when financial issues might impact on their time in the Sixth Form. We aim to do this in the following ways.

1. Students who the government has identified as ‘highly vulnerable’ such as students looked after by the local authority, care leavers, students who receive Income Support [in their own right] and those entitled to both Employment Support Allowance and Disability Living Allowance will receive a bursary of £1,200 in six half-termly instalments.
2. Students who are eligible for free school meals or who come from families with a household income of below £26,000 will be able to apply for assistance to meet educational needs such as the cost of transport to school, equipment and educational visits. Please note it is not guaranteed that the fund will be sufficient to pay all needs in full.
3. If sufficient funds are available we may also be able to provide some support to students on a family income of £26,000-30,000.

At the start of year 12, all students are issued with a ‘swipe card’. This card must be used every day when you come into school to register you electronically. You must also use this card to register for your supervised study sessions.

All students are required to be on site at lesson times and study times during the day. Students travelling between sites also need to swipe in on arrival and out as they leave both schools. Students who persistently forget to use their swipe cards may be placed on attendance report. If swipe cards are lost or damaged, replacements can be obtained at a cost of £2.

When entering Sixth form, students who need to get the bus to school no longer receive a free bus pass. Click here for more information about obtaining a bus pass for Sixth form.
