We expect all students in our Sixth Form will be fully committed to Saint Benedict and its values. Students must be willing to give of their best and to take part in the wider life of the Academy, embracing all opportunities for personal development and growth. It is expected the Academy’s policies and dress code will be adhered to and a strong work ethic will be evident.
Saint Benedict expects all students to have the support of parents and carers and that they too are committed to upholding the values, policies and expectations of the Academy’s Sixth Form.
Central to our mission at Saint Benedict Sixth Form, is seeing every young person as an individual. Our aim is to nurture each young person, their talents and gifts in order that they can meet their full potential and leave us fully prepared for the next chapter in their lives, whatever that may be. We treat our students as young adults, so that they have greater freedom and privileges. Students are expected to always conduct themselves in accordance with the school’s core values of Love, Belief, Integrity and knowledge at all times.
Our expectations are high, and we are ambitious for every student. We will support and challenge students to be the best they can, developing independent study skills, building confidence and equipping young people with the knowledge for university, employment or an apprenticeship are real strengths of ours.
We monitor the progress of all our learners and will provide challenge and support at all stages of their journey with us.
