The Sixth Form Life

Rights and Responsibilities
As with everything in life your time as a sixth former at Ifield Community College carries many rights and responsibilities. As a sixth former you have the right to dress in your own clothes, with that you have a responsibility to be a role model to the students in years 7 to 11.

As a sixth former you also have the right to non directed study periods with the responsibility to use those periods wisely by doing homework, coursework and private study. You also have the right to a private area within the College with the responsibility to respect those facilities and the people who use them.

The Sixth Form Council
Each sixth form tutor group elects two members to sit on the Sixth Form Council, which carries the responsibility for monitoring the Sixth Form Centre, organises social and charitable events, and considers requests for money to be spent from the sixth form fund.
The sixth form also has two representatives on the College Council.

Social Life
In recent years the sixth form have been on shopping trips to Bluewater, dared the rides at Thorpe Park, put on their best Torvill and Dean impressions at the Guildford Spectrum and partied the night away at the end of year prom, held at Highley Manor and on the Thames.
