Higher Line at Stonyhurst

Stonyhurst has a beautiful setting, fascinating heritage, fine reputation and excellent facilities. The Jesuit values upon which the College was founded in 1593 continue to underpin everything we do today. Every year, a number of new students, mostly boarders, from the UK, Europe and further afield, join the College for Higher Line, our sixth form.

HEADMASTER’S INTRODUCTION

We achieve high academic results, and every student is enabled to fulfil his or her potential by our exceptionally high standard of teaching and pastoral care. Personal tutors, the Deputy Head (Higher Line) and the Careers Department guide students in the important decisions they make about their future and through the university application process.

Stonyhurst encourages everyone to involve themselves fully in the many extracurricular opportunities offered to them. Living in a supportive and diverse community, students are helped to develop those qualities of character that will distinguish them in later life as Men and Women for Others. A Jesuit education is a foundation for such a life, an education that nurtures individuality and encourages generosity. Higher Line students run many fundraising events, such as the Poetry Banquet and Learning to Care; the majority offer their time and help in the Arrupe Voluntary Service Programme, and many participate in the annual holiday week for disabled children. Our emphasis on the importance of leadership is also particularly strong in Higher Line; a Committee and Prefects are selected each year and all senior pupils

are expected to take seriously their position at the top of the school.

Poetry and Rhetoric (years 12 and 13) are two very formative and crucial years. I believe Stonyhurst offers an outstanding sixth form education and I look forward to welcoming you to it, whether you are joining us for the first time or continuing from Lower Line.

Andrew Johnson, Headmaster

Day & Boarding AccommodationAccommodation in Higher Line is divided into Playrooms: Poetry (Year 12) and Rhetoric (Year 13), with girls and boys sleeping and working in separate areas. Playroom Masters look after the boys and the Girls’ Housemistress looks after the girls.

Induction When you first arrive in Poetry, there is a great deal to take on board. In order to ensure that every Poet feels settled and at ease within the school, there are two days of induction for Poets new to the College, before the rest of Higher Line return for the start of the school year. During the induction, there is time for parents to meet the key pastoral staff who will be responsible for the welfare of their child. There are ‘ice breakers’

to help Poets get to know one another, meetings with academic tutors and with the Committee (Senior Rhetoricians) and orientation exercises around the College. By the time we reach the beginning of term, new friendships will be blossoming and the Poets will be familiar with the key areas of the College.

PASTORAL SUPPORT

There are many people to whom the students can turn for advice, support and understanding throughout the challenging two years that they spend in Higher Line. Key members of staff who ensure the harmony and wellbeing of our Higher Line students are:

• Mr Neil Hodgson ............................................Deputy Head (Higher Line)• Mrs Angela Deane ..........................................Higher Line Girls’ Housemistress• Mr Henry Johnson ..........................................Poetry Boys’ Playroom Master• Mr Alex Loney .................................................Rhetoric Boys’ Playroom Master• Mrs Lin Morris .................................................In charge of Higher Line Day Boys• Miss Sarah Young ............................................College Lay Chaplain• Mr Paul Warrilow ............................................College Lay Chaplain• Father John Twist ............................................College Chaplain• Mrs Karen Aldridge .........................................School Counsellor• Mrs Nicola Fogden .........................................Health Centre

In addition to this are the academic tutors and also the Playroom duty staff who assist thePlayroom Masters and Housemistress in the day to day running of their pastoral areas.

Poets also have student mentors in Rhetoric who are another line of support for the Poets as they settle into the routines and rhythms of the college. This support continues throughout Higher Line and the atmosphere of friendship, respect and kindness is palpable. New Poets will meet with their mentors in the first few days of the new term.

Saturday evening events and weekend trips are held throughout the academic year to enable Higher Line students to socialise and relax. From cinema trips to city centre visits, from a night at the Oscars to quiz evenings, Higher Line is a vibrant and creative place to be, where students are encouraged to pursue their interests and ambitions both within and beyond the classroom.

Poetry Boys Poetry boys are based in Weld House with a small number of boys also in the New Wing. Over the course of the year, all Poetry boys will spend at least one term in Weld House. Their Playroom Master, Mr Henry Johnson, lives in Weld with his family and is supported in his role by a team of duty staff. Mr Johnson is the first point of contact for all matters, both pastoral and academic.

Rhetoric Boys Rhetoric boys are based in the New Wing spread over two floors. Their Playroom Master, Mr Alex Loney, and his team of duty staff oversee their welfare and Mr Loney is the first point of contact for all matters, both pastoral and academic.

Day Boys Both Rhetoric and Poetry day boys are based in the New Wing in their own study centre. They are cared for day to day by Mrs Lin Morris who works closely with Mr Henry Johnson and Mr Alex Loney, the Poetry and Rhetoric Playroom Masters.

Poetry and Rhetoric Girls, boarding and day Poetry and Rhetoric girls, boarding and day, are based in Higher Line Girls’ house. Mrs Angela Deane is the Girls’ Housemistress and she lives in the boarding house with her family. Mrs Deane is the first point of contact for all matters, both pastoral and academic.

ACADEMIC

We have high expectations of our students in Higher Line. Higher Line students choose one of two routes of study: IB or A Level. Prior to joining the Higher Line, the students are carefully advised by the Director of Studies, the Deputy Head in charge of IB and by their tutor, in order to select the route of study best suited to their skills and their academic interests.

A LEVELS AT STONYHURSTDuring the next three years, the structure of A level courses is changing at a national level. The AS qualification will no longer comprise 50% of the A level and A levels will be examined at the end of the two year linear course. The AS level will still exist but as a separate qualification, decoupled from A level.

The changes will be introduced over a three year period. The timeline for the introduction of the new specifications is as follows:2015: Art and Design, English Literature,

Economics, Business, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics.

2016: Geography, Theatre Studies, French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek, Music, Religious Studies.

2017: Mathematics, Design Technology.

Higher Line students at Stonyhurst will choose three or four A level subjects and they will also be given the opportunity to choose an additional qualification such as an EPQ, to complement, and offer breadth to their A level studies.

A levels offered at Stonyhurst

Why choose A levels?If you have a clear preference for certain subjects and know exactly where your interests lie, A levels provide an excellent opportunity to study fewer subjects in detail. A levels are traditional, academic qualifications, highly valued by universities and employers alike.

We offer a range of A level subjects most of which are regarded as facilitating subjects for entrance to the UK’s most prestigious universities.

Mathematics, Science & Technology• Mathematics • Physics• Further Mathematics • Computing• Biology • Design & • Chemistry Technology

Languages & Arts• Art & Design • Spanish• Photography • Greek• English Literature • Latin• French • Music• German • Theatre Studies* We also provide opportunities to sit A level examinations in other languages according to demand.

Humanities• Religious Studies • Business• Geography • Economics• Physical Education • History• Politics

Full details of all A level courses can be found on our website: www.stonyhurst.ac.uk

The Extended Project QualificationWe encourage many of our Higher Line pupils to complete the Extended Project Qualification. The EPQ is an independent research project which allows students to research a topic of personal interest. All students have a supervisor who advises

and guides them through the process of extended writing. The skills acquired through the completion of the EPQ are valuable for undergraduate study and prepare students well for researching and writing a dissertation at university. The EPQ qualification also attracts UCAS points.

IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME Stonyhurst College was authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) as an IB World School in 2012.

IB philosophy and facts IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education – that we believe is important for our students. The IBO was founded in 1968, and there are currently over 900,000 IB students in over 140 countries. Over 200 schools in the UK offer the IB Diploma.

The IB Diploma programme at Stonyhurst Stonyhurst has offered the IB Diploma since 2013 alongside A levels. An alternative to A level that is highly regarded by universities and employers, the IB Diploma is a demanding programme that, in keeping with Stonyhurst’s Jesuit ethos, seeks to develop the whole person.

Why opt for the IB Diploma? There are many reasons. Most obviously, research has shown that IB Diploma graduates outperform their peers at university and in the world of work (Higher Education Statistics Agency Report 2011). The IB Diploma is a prestigious global pre-university qualification, recognized by universities in more than 100 countries, including “Oxbridge” and the USA’s Ivy League. It offers academic depth and breadth, and is equally suitable for those who know they want specific careers (such as medicine or law) and for those who want to keep their options open.

Would I make a good IB Diploma student? Basically, the IB Diploma programme suits good academic all-rounders (who can continue studying subjects – and gain academic credit for doing so – that under the A-level framework they would have to drop).

8 HIGHER LINE STONYHURST 9

Page 10: Higher Line - Home | Independent Boarding School in ... Higher Line students to socialise and relax. From cinema trips to city centre visits, from a night at the Oscars to quiz evenings,

IB Diploma students aspire to be:

“enquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective” (IB Learner Profile).

What do IB Diploma students study? Students normally study six courses over five terms, three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level. After careful consultation with Stonyhurst staff, students must choose one subject from each of the following groups:

1) Studies in Language and Literature (first language)

2) Language Acquisition (second, new or classical language)

3) Individuals and Societies (Business and Management, Geography, History, Philosophy)

4) Experimental Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Systems and Societies)

5) Mathematics (three levels offered) 6) Arts and Electives (Visual Arts, Theatre

Arts, Music, or another subject from groups 1 to 4).

In addition, all students follow the Core, which comprises a course in Theory of Knowledge (ways of knowing), an Extended Essay (a research essay on a topic chosen by the student), and Creativity, Activity and Service (a co-curricular package that fosters student initiative).

How is the IB Diploma assessed? Written examinations are mainly at the end of the programme, though a number of College based assessment tasks will be completed at various points over the five terms. Each course is marked on a scale of 1 to 7, and students can be awarded up to 3 points for Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay combined, giving a maximum total of 45 points. Subject to satisfying certain conditions, students who gain 24 or more points are awarded the IB Diploma. The mean points score worldwide is approximately 30

The IB Diploma and university entrance The UCAS tariff equivalents are as follows: 24 points = BCC at A-level; 45 points = AAAAAA at A-level. As you might expect, offers vary from course to course and university to university. To read Accounting at Manchester University in 2016, for example: the typical offer would be 37 points (out of 45) for an IB Diploma student and grades AAA for an A-level student.

THE CORE

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE (ToK)ToK Co-ordinator: Mr. E. Allanson

What is ToK?The Theory of Knowledge course at Stonyhurst gives students the opportunity to evaluate evidence using reason and judgement. It encourages students to stop and think about the knowledge claims that are being made in their other subjects and consider how reliable they actually are. ToK allows students to step back from the knowledge they are gaining and reflect, in a Jesuit way, upon the approaches which characterise different disciplines and notice the connections between them. The course considers the role of faith in our lives and how it can make its own knowledge claims which, though different, can be complemented by reason. This type of critical thinking is great preparation for pre-entry university tests such as the BMAT (Medicine) or LNAT (Law), as well as helping to develop skills needed in later life.

How is it examined? The course has no final examination; assessment is comprised of a presentation on a knowledge issue of the student’s choice and an essay on a prescribed title. Past presentation titles have included “What part should reason play in decision-making?”, “The knower’s perspective is essential in the pursuit of knowledge”, “How does sense perception affect memory recall?” and “To what extent does environment influence the evaluation of art?”

Extended Essay (EE) EE Co-ordinator: Mrs. M. Allanson

All IB Diploma Programme students complete a 4000-word essay on a topic relating to one of the subjects they study. They are helped by a supervisor, who gives them advice and guidance. They complete the process with a short viva voce where they can discuss what they have learnt.

This process allows students to learn: to work independently; how to research effectively; to reference and present their work in an academic way; develop their interests and knowledge; improve their UCAS application by showing they have studied their specialist subject in depth and developed skills which are useful in university; produce an in-depth piece of work of which they can be proud.

CAS (CREATIVITY, ACTIVITY, SERVICE) CAS Co-ordinator: Miss Julie Greenwood

CAS is the co-curricular aspect of the IB Diploma Programme. Students design their own programme of activities and projects.

What are the aims of CAS? The CAS programme aims to develop students who are: • Reflective thinkers (understanding

their own strengths and limitations, identifying goals, and devising strategies for personal growth)

• Willing to accept new challenges and new roles

• Ethical: aware of themselves as members of communities with responsibilities towards each other and the environment

• Active participants in sustained and collaborative projects

• Balanced: they enjoy and find significance in a range of activities involving intellectual, physical, creative and emotional experiences

What sort of activities count as CAS? Creativity: projects or activities which involve creative thinking/skills – drama, dance, artistic endeavours, for example. Any creative programme should be a personal challenge – learning new skills which the student may never have considered before.

Activity: implying physical activity and contributing to a healthy lifestyle. Again, the emphasis is on what the student can learn from taking part in activities. It should be a physical challenge, an act of endurance, or the conquest of personal fears.

Service: developing a relationship whereby the student contributes, but with a clear learning benefit for the student. The idea again is that the students initiate their own projects and challenge themselves to consider the ethical implications of service, to think global/act local.

The activities are to be balanced evenly so that, over 18 months, the student has dedicated about the same amount of time to each area. At Stonyhurst, we hope that students will devise at least one longer term project which combines Creativity and/or Activity in the Service of others.

How is CAS assessed? Students are required to reflect on their activities in a choice of formats – paper journals, film, photography, weblogs, etc. – to show how they have experienced learning, both through the life of each activity and across their CAS programme as a whole. CAS is “authenticated” rather than “marked”, and a student must complete his or her CAS programme to be awarded the IB Diploma.

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

MagisAs well as their subject lessons, all of Higher Line students, both Rhetoric and Poetry, attend Magis. The Magis programme consists of 11 modules from which students are invited to choose 6. Topics include: Heroic Leadership, Pope Francis’ call to save the planet, World Religions, and The Common Good. To enhance their education further, we have a series of talks and presentations geared specifically to issues relevant to Higher Line students.

With a broad programme of academic enrichment, the students in Higher Line are expected to attend at least one event a week, above and beyond their academic study. Examples are theatre trips, talks, and presentations by the English, Politics and History departments. Clubs and societies such as the Law, Waterton, Environmental and Medical societies develop our Higher Line students’ intellectual curiosity further and add vibrancy and creativity to the Higher Line academic experience.

To help support and advise the Poets and Rhetoricians over the course of these two very important and exciting years, each student has an academic tutor. Poets and Rhetoricians meet with their tutor during the week and individually at least once a fortnight.

UNIVERSITY PREPARATION

In Poetry, all the students attend a series of Careers talks on Open Days, Work Experience, completing their UCAS application forms and applying overseas. As well as this, they attend the Universities’ convention in Manchester where they have the opportunity to research different universities and what they could offer.

With their academic tutors, the Poets visit the Careers Department, run by Mrs Carol Anderton. They receive expert guidance on how to research the areas of academic study they wish to pursue and are given access to the many and varied facilities open to them, including our own customised u-xplore website (www.uxplore.com).

The Poets are taken through the university application process one step at a time. They receive the relevant information for the type of application that they wish to make, whether they are applying to university in the UK, USA or elsewhere overseas. In the summer term, once their external examinations are complete, they attend a series of workshops and talks, which help specifically with the writing of their personal statement. They are then expected to produce a completed draft by the end of the term. The students’ academic tutor also helps in this process, ensuring that the students meet the deadlines that are set for them, in order for them to make the best possible application.

In Higher Line, the students are encouraged to throw themselves into the extra-curricular programme. Music, Drama, Sport and Arrupe – our voluntary Service programme – reflect the breadth of possibilities open to them. As well as this, an extensive array of activities such as Young Enterprise, CCF and the Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme help our Higher Line students to become well-rounded, ambitious and adventurous individuals.

There are many opportunities for Higher Line students to take on responsibility for various different events and activities, for example the Poetry Training Day which develops teamwork, presentation skills and strategic thinking, the LTC (Learning to Care) committee which is responsible for organising fundraising events and the Poetry Banquet committee which puts the responsibility of organising a charity banquet firmly in the hands of the Poets, from planning all the way through to clearing up! The Stonyhurst Children’s Holiday Week, which allows Poets and Rhetoricians the opportunity to look after disabled children for a week whilst allowing their parents some respite, is an incredible opportunity for the students to challenge themselves whilst at the same time to develop and grow as individuals.

Being on the Rhetoric Committee at Stonyhurst is an honour given to a small number of Rhetoricians. They help to lead the whole community and are given

responsibility for a particular area of College life, such as mentoring new pupils or supporting Lower Line students in the classroom. The Committee works closely with the Deputy Head (Higher Line) and with Rhetoric prefects.

Stonyhurst is a school that cares about you as an individual and about the person you will become, girl or boy, boarder or day pupil. Much of what you do will be up to you and the decisions that you make – to be involved or step aside – will shape you and your Playroom as a whole. The opportunity is there and, if you seize it, be assured that the next two years at Stonyhurst will be the most enriching, enlivening and engaging years of your life so far.

If you have any concerns or queries about life in Higher Line at Stonyhurst, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Neil Hodgson, Deputy Head (Higher Line). ([email protected])
