As a Sixth Form pupil at St George’s C of E Foundation School, I accept that my main aim is to achieve the best possible results in my studies and I will ensure this by:

• Keeping up-to-date with all my studies and attending all timetabled lessons
• Meeting all deadlines set by staff by making productive use of study time at school and at home
• Limiting my involvement in paid work to no more than 12 hours a week (government recommendation) so that academic progress and success is kept a clear priority
• Arriving punctually every morning to be ready for timetabled lessons or study time
• Signing in and out with my swipe card through the pupil entrance whenever entering or leaving the school premises
• Wearing the correct clothing to adhere to the Sixth Form dress code
• Not leaving the school premises without signing out of the building
• Not having any mobile device or airpods out anywhere in school except the Common Room
• Participating in a week of work experience in Year 12, where we recommend that you organise your own placement so that it is relevant to your future aspirations

Sixth Form Attendance Policy

Sixth Form Procedure

• We expect Sixth Form pupils to attend ALL of the lessons they are timetabled for.
• If a pupil is unwell we expect their parents to inform the Attendance Team on the first day of absence by 9.00am, just like they would with lower school pupils. This can be done on the MyEd App or by email to attendance@st-georgescofe-thanet.kent.sch.uk
• Sixth Form pupils may self-certificate an absence for a medical appointment only, as long as evidence of the appointment is provided. This should be done by email to the Attendance Team on attendance@st-georgescofe-thanet.kent.sch.uk
• If a pupil’s attendance falls below 90% an initial letter will be sent to parent(s), with a copy to the pupil, informing them of our concerns and the need to improve attendance.
• If there is no immediate and sustained improvement following this, a first Disciplinary Meeting will be arranged with the Director of Sixth Form, parent(s) and the pupil.
• Attendance will be monitored for two weeks following the meeting. If there is no improvement a second Disciplinary Meeting will be held with the Director of Sixth Form, Education Welfare Officer, parent(s) and the pupil to discuss the situation and to look at alternative options.
• Attendance will be monitored for a further two weeks and if there is no sustained improvement a final Disciplinary Meeting will be held with the Head of School, parent(s) and the pupil. At this point, unless there are extenuating circumstances, the Sixth Form place may be terminated and guidance with regard to alternative provisions linked to a careers interview will be offered.

Subject Specific Entry Requirements - September 2025

Subject Specific Entry Requirements – September 2025

All students must study three Level 3 subjects from Blocks A-C regardless of resits, Core Maths or Football Academy.

A Church of England Sixth Form

Our five Christian values of compassion, forgiveness, friendship, hope and wisdom, underpin all that we do at the School. Throughout the curriculum and through worship pupils encounter and consider these values and the impact on their learning and lives.

At lunchtime, a member of the clergy is often available in The Heart, or one of the other lunchtime venues, on a rota throughout the term. Prayer is available for pupils, staff or families through the clergy.

Throughout the year, all 6th Form pupils will have a termly tabled Religion lesson, which will focus on issues of Social Justice and Religion – building on resources from the AQA GCSE specification. These will reflect relevant issues in society and around the world and provide an opportunity for discussion, exploration of religious views and personal reflection. In addition, we aim to hold enrichment activities throughout the year to complement the RE provision for pupils in our Sixth Form, such as visiting speakers or other activities.

We also offer RE as an A level course. Information can be found on the Subject Page in Secondary

"For the body does not consist of one member but of many."   1 Corinthians 12:14

This year, Work Experience for our Year 12s is from 19th to 23rd January 2026.

Unlike year 10, year 12 are expected to organise their own Work Experience week. Personal Development lessons will be used to help get this sorted and uploaded to pupils' individual UNIFROG accounts.

St Georges award a scholarship to a student who has the best results and is going to university.
