The School Day

When you enter Cedar House, our purpose built Sixth Form Centre, the feeling is that of focus and hard work perfectly coupled with light and laughter. Our students all share the common objective of working hard and excelling in their chosen subjects to allow them to follow their dreams. The importance of rest, and fun, however, is not underestimated!

As our Sixth Form is an extension of school, you are expected to be on-site between 8.30am and 3.45pm, with some flexibility to allow you to leave to head into Gerrards Cross during the school day, should you choose to. Many of our Sixth Formers arrive early to enjoy their breakfast in our common room with a hot beverage from our state-of-the art coffee machine that rivals most cafes. You are free to eat lunch in the dining room or bring your hot meal back to Cedar House to enjoy.

Each A Level or BTEC subject has eight timetabled sessions a week, made up of teaching time and, in some subjects, dedicated study sessions to consolidate your learning. In your non-teaching time, you are encouraged to make the most of the opportunity to complete homework, study independently or extend your learning further. Of course, there is a balance to be struck between working hard academically and taking time to relax and de-stress with your friends in our common room.
