In the second year of sixth-form, upper sixth-former students can drop one of their chosen subjects, reducing their timetable to three lessons a day, with two free periods.
We are taking steps to break down the mistaken belief that if a sixth-former or a graduate joins the police, he will not be making full use of his education.
What happens to the sixth-former may be rather sad.
The direct grant is £36 per pupil, with an extra £40 for each sixth-former.
We now realise that the teaching of the average and under-average requires much greater skill than the teaching of the brilliant sixth-former.
As we all know, as every sixth-former knows, it has two different meanings in our language.
