Sixth Form Induction 2026

SIXTH FORM INDUCTION 2026

This section contains all of the information for students joining us in the Sixth Form in September. Please read through the documents carefully prior to your compulsory Induction event on the 24th and 25th June as they contain important information about life in the Sixth Form.

The Sixth Form Handbook

The Sixth Form Handbook is a key document which you must read before starting in the Sixth Form, so that you are aware of the culture and expectations, as well as how you will be supported in school. There is also the dress code which specifies how you must present yourself for school.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

We have a policy which requires all students to bring in a device (laptop) to school. We would advise a device such as a Chromebook, although some subjects require an alternative type of laptop. The documents in this section explain this fully.

16-19 Bursary

Sixth Form students may be eligible to apply for a bursary to support their studies. Eligible students will receive resources necessary for their courses, including the long-term loan of a laptop and items such as textbooks and practical equipment. Bursary students will also receive funding for compulsory trips and a contribution towards travel costs where applicable. The documents attached explain the full details and eligibility criteria. Forms will be distributed on the first day in September so that students can apply.

Course Confirmation in August

Once you have collected your GCSE Results on Thursday 20th August, members of the Sixth Form Team will be ready to greet you and accept your personalised Course Confirmation form in the Sixth Form Centre.

Sandringham Year 11 students to arrive from 8.15am on Thursday 20th August. ‘New’ to Sandringham students to arrive between 10am and 12.00pm on Thursday 20th August.

The final deadline to return your completed Course Confirmation form to the Sixth Form Centre is 9.00am on Friday 21st August 2026. If your completed form is not submitted by this deadline, we will withdraw your conditional offer.

Please be mindful that the school does not receive a Royal Mail delivery outside of term time and so Course Confirmation forms must not be posted.

Summer Work

Each subject area has set Summer Work which is compulsory and must be completed by the first lessons in September. If you change a subject in August, you must complete the Summer Work by September for your new subject. If you are taking a subject at Beaumont and Verulam, you need to complete the work set by the subject there, not the work set by an equivalent Sandringham subject.
