Your Sixth Form timetable
Your timetable balances subject lessons, independent study, and personal development. Alongside classwork, you are expected to complete guided study tasks set by your teachers.
Each day begins with tutor time (except assembly days), giving you space to stay organised and use supervised study effectively. During the week, you’ll also take part in enrichment activities and dedicated sessions for personal development, careers, and study skills.
You’ll have supervised study periods in the Understudy, where staff are on hand to support you. This structure ensures you develop independence while building the skills needed for success beyond Sixth Form.
Independent study and resources
Sixth Formers are expected to study independently and prepare for lessons. Our Resource Centre, Silent Study rooms and Understudy are open daily with access to books, journals and computers. Each subject provides a reading list, with key texts available in lessons and The Study; students may also purchase personal copies for annotation. A bursary fund is available to support those who need help purchasing resources.
Student Leadership Council
St Ivo’s Sixth Form Leadership Council is a peer-appointed body of student representatives working with subject departments, the whole-school student council, house councils and the Senior Leadership Team. Our aim is to enhance student life, address issues, plan events, and represent the voices of our peers.
Each year, students apply for Head Student positions. Following a rigorous interview and selection process with the Sixth Form team and Principal, two students are appointed to chair the Council. They lead a team of representatives—each encouraged to establish and lead their own committee—ensuring that a wide range of student ideas and ambitions are acted upon.
The Council empowers students to shape their school environment, fostering personal growth and essential leadership skills. Through regular meetings, assemblies, and collaboration with staff, they play a key role in creating a positive and enriching community.
Charitable and whole-school events, such as Pink Day, Macmillan Coffee Morning and the annual charity day, form a central part of our work. These raise funds for important causes whilst strengthening school spirit.
House Captains automatically hold a seat on the Council, ensuring strong links with the House system and allowing Sixth Formers to act as role models for younger students.
Joining the Leadership Council is an opportunity to represent student interests, develop leadership, and make a lasting contribution to the growth of St Ivo Sixth Form.
Transport
We have excellent transport links to St Ivo Sixth Form including bus routes and the guided bus. The guided bus route also provides a large cycle path to neighbouring villages.
