Sixth Form Expectations

We have high standards of our Sixth Form students and expect them to be role models for the younger students at BA. The Sixth Form pastoral team monitor student conduct, attendance and punctuality closely. Students risk losing their home study or position in Sixth Form if standards are not met.

Sixth Form students have a professional dress code (see below). Sports Academy students are permitted to wear their Academy sports kit around the building.
