CLASS of 2026
Welcome to the Sixth Form WORKING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT OUR BOYS.
Our priority as a school is your son’s welfare. We want all your sons to enjoy their final two years of school, growing as individuals and thriving with the challenges that present themselves. You, as their parents, and us, as a school, are their support team over the next two years. The aim of this document is to let you know about some of the pastoral topics we cover with the boys, to share some of the common issues that we see in the Sixth Form, and to ensure that you know what to do if you have any concerns. We look forward to us working together so that we give them every opportunity of flourishing, over the next couple of years and beyond.
Mr Michael Royds Head of Upper School
Mr Jaime Lythgoe Head of Lower Sixth

HIGHLIGHTS Here are some key areas that we deal with regularly in the Sixth Form: 1. Timing & Self-Discipline We aim to teach pupils high personal standards; punctuality and appearance are key aspects of looking after yourself and we hope that parents can help reinforce these expectations. Your son is expected to be in school by 08:45 every school day; this means that if they arrive after 08.45, they are late.
