Sixth Formers are expected to work in their free periods, during which the Upper Sixth are unsupervised and can make use of the library and IT resources, and scientists can use the Science Study Centre. Sixth Formers have special privileges and can take on positions of responsibility to develop management and leadership skills. Praepostors (prefects) are trained by an external company, specialising in personal development. There is an expectation that all pupils will become involved in the wider school community.
