Independent Study
To be successful in their studies, students need to be organised, manage their time well and become independent learners. They are expected to do at least 15 hours independent study per week as well as engage in wider reading for their chosen subjects. All Sixth Form students are issued with a diary to support them with managing their time effectively.
