The Mirfield Free Grammar and Sixth Form
The Mirfield Free Grammar and Sixth form centre is a school located in Mirfield, West Yorkshire England,  run by Mrs Lorraine Barker. It is a foundation school voted Outstanding four years in a row by Ofsted Teachers at the MFG use a very successful method of discipline called the BFL system. If a student misbehaves in a lesson they receive a C1 (consequence one), this basically is a first warning. If the child continues to disturb the lesson they receive a C2 (consequence two) which is there very final warning. In the unfortunte event of a student receiving a C3, the will be given a form from the teacher which the student will take home and show their parents. The following day the pupil will stay behind after school and complete a half an hour detention. After a C3 in lesson comes a C4. In the very unlikely event of a child ben given a C4, they will be removed from the classroom and taken t the On call room. Here, the student will stay to do work in silence for the rest of that lesson and will have to do an hours detention the following day. The BFL system has proven to be very successful and the MFG are proud to have such an orderly, organised and clever method of punishment.

School starts at 9.00am but students must be in school by 8.20 for a morning registration with there form. Depending on the particular childs individual abilities in different subjects, te child will be with different people for different subjects simply because that class all are working at the same level.
