Support in the Sixth Form

In addition to your teacher’s support of your academic pursuits Challoner’s has in place a network of other services that may be of help to you if you are having difficulties in any aspect of your life.

Matron

Matron is available during the day for medical assistance if required. If you are ill during the school day, you must consult with Matron and sign yourself out with her if you wish to leave the site.

Counselling

A professional counsellor is available on request to all students. If you wish to discuss personal issues with our counsellor please make an appointment through Matron.

Sixth Form Divisions

The Sixth Form is divided into twenty ‘divisions’, familiarly known as ‘divs’. Each div has its own tutor, meets in its own room for registrations and div periods and usually has about twenty students from either Year 12 or Year 13. Your div tutor will monitor your progress and offer you advice throughout your time in the Sixth Form.

Careers Library

Challoner’s has a well stocked Careers Library in Group room 1, on the Learning Level. Resources are available to plan the next stage in your education or to investigate career possibilities.

Careers Consultant

The School has retained the services of a professional careers consultant who is available to advise you on any aspect of planning your future. See Mrs Akerman to arrange an appointment.

Student Development Plus

The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is available for help and advice on such matters. He liaises with the Examinations Officer over candidates who are entitled to extra time in exams.
