well the key is
Well, I think the key really to a good sixth form is good attendance. If you're not here,
you can't learn and learning's what it's all about.
Good morning Tomasardi sixth form attendance. Why can't you come in this week? You've had
a busy shopping trip. I don't think that's a really valid excuse for not coming to school.
Oh, thank you. Bye bye. I do get some very strange phone calls at times. Sometimes they're
just too tired to come to school so they don't bother. Phone calls for people who've had a
busy weekend and therefore can't make it on Monday. Good morning Tomasardi sixth form attendance.
You're going to be in late today. Why's that? You have jet lag. Where've you been? Jet lag
from Weymouth. I don't really think we can go with that. It's not very far at all to Weymouth
and you definitely wouldn't be jet lagged. I think you need to come into school. Okay,
good bye. I would have to say, though, the majority of the phone calls I do get are from
Mrs Taylor or Mr Nichols. My role in the sixth form office is to support the students. It's
the best of my ability. When they come in, if it's a crisis, we deal with it on the spot.
If it's not, we'll try and deal with it as and when. I enjoy the interaction with the
students. We have great laugh.
Mrs Daringley. Daringley. We've got a student meeting and we want you to come up to talk
about the university. On the business, my love. Okay. Shall I come back later? No.
We've got to do something about the litter, Mr Flello. It's just, it's so bad. I don't
know what the problem is. It's just, it's so messy out there, isn't it? It's all bits
of egg sandwiches and tomatoes. What can we do? Wait, something running. Come on, come
on, come on. Another bin. Another bin was there all the time.
So the sixth form centre is a key part of the school and we take a lot of pride in it.
We've changed the approach. We know how students love how comfortable the new chairs are and
they love the white colours. But the state of the economy is obviously such a big bear,
bug bear for us, isn't it, in terms of rubbish. And I just don't understand why people don't
use the bins provided in the silent places and why they just chuck rubbish on the floor
everywhere. And chuck bananas, that's what it is. I think you can accept it.
The sixth form policy, uniform policy, was changed relatively recently. I feel that if
students have a bit more choice about what they can wear, as long as there's relatively
clear boundaries about what's acceptable and what isn't acceptable, then most students
are going to toe the line and are going to come to school prepared for learning. Now,
sometimes that doesn't quite happen, but those instances tend to be relatively few
and far between. What you are wearing is completely unacceptable
for the sixth form. You are in a working environment. If you had a job in a bank, would you go dressed
looking like that? The lower score of the weather blazes and lovely coupon ties. And
do you dress like that? It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to have to send you home.
But it's comfy. Look at me. Warm, Mr. Nichols. We've got bad weather, Mr. Nichols.
I don't care if it's comfy. Look at my tail, Mr. Nichols.
It's ridiculous. Taylor, I've told you before, I'm in charge. We need to go home and change.
What? We've been through this before, Mr. Nichols. I'm in charge. I've got this seat.
I've got this chair. I'm in charge. This seat is worn out because of how much serious
work. What if I can do with this? I can turn it round. I'm in charge, Mr. Nichols. I'm
in charge. I'm in charge. How dare you? I'm an elephant. I'm in charge.
