Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form Expectations

We pride ourselves on the comprehensive support we offer our students to cater to both their academic and pastoral needs, which includes personalised assistance for each student as they prepare for the next steps in their journey.

Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form students enjoy having their own space in the school. They are empowered to work independently, collaborate in small groups, or engage with a large peer community.

We pride ourselves on the comprehensive support we offer our students to cater to both their academic and pastoral needs, which includes personalised assistance for each student as they prepare for the next steps in their journey.

To help our students shine, we have a few expectations in place, whether that be academic or conduct. These expectations are outlined in our documents, which set the bar for success.

Our Sixth Form Learning Agreement is a valuable resource, clearly outlining what we expect from our students and their parent(s)/Carer(s).

In addition, we have a subject support programme which kicks in after assessments. This program is designed to support students who may need more support to meet the requirements of their course.

When it comes to attire, students are asked to adopt a business-style dress code.
