This is intended as a guide only. It may not be possible to provide
every subject, because of lack of demand.
Haydon is a Language College and there are lessons in a variety of languages
available to
SixthFormers at examination and non-examination level.

Welcome to Haydon 6th Form
This guide introduces you to the academic requirements of the courses
your son/daughter is taking.
We recommend that you read each relevant section carefully in order
that you are able to monitor academic progress.
Additionally, to ensure that the students meet the requirements of the 6th
Form we would welcome yoursupport in the following areas:
• Please ensure that your son/daughter leaves home early enough
to arrive on time for their first lesson, taking into account the
frequent disruptions to traffic and public transport. Registration is
at 12.20.
• Please ensure that your son/daughter is wearing appropriate
clothing (see dress code overleaf) and their ID badges.
• Please ensure that yourson/daughter is doing at least five hours‘
study, per subject, each week. This may include homework which
has been set by teachers or independent study which is expected
as a matter of routine (e.g. reading serious newspapers for
subjects such as Law, Economics, Sociology or Politics)
We will keep you up to date on their classroom progress by providing
you with a statement of their effort one weekafter half term. You are
encouraged to attend parents evening on 1 December to meet your
son/daughter‘s subject teachers for a detailed review of his/her progress.
Mock examinations will take place in January and you will be sent a
report in February informing you of your son/daughter‘s achievement.
By the end of this academic year, we want students to be in a position to
apply to the bestUniversities. This can only be achieved if high grades
are achieved at AS level. Students have to work hard throughout the
year if they are to fulfill their potential.
We would like to see them fulfill their potential outside of the classroom
as well, by participating in extracurricular activities and being role
models for younger students.
Taken together, all these demands can make 6th Formvery challenging
but if school and families work well together it can be extremely
rewarding.
