Students at sixth form are expected to take responsibility for their learning and to make productive use of directed study time. The sixth form centre is open before and after school hours so that students can arrive early or stay later if they wish to use the facilities to study.

When students do not have timetabled lessons, they can choose whether to study on site, to go to the cafe or common room or study at home from break time onwards. All students who are not in lessons during periods 1 or 2 are expected to undertake quiet study in one of the three study zones.
