The College Day
The College day begins at 8.50am. From 8.35am, members of staff are on duty to supervise students. Students are not allowed on to the College site before this time unless they are attending a specific breakfast club.
Please be advised that no vehicles are allowed on to the College site from 2.45pm (2.20pm on Tuesday) for a short period of time, in order to allow students to depart from the site safely.
CURRICULUM PROVISION
In order to facilitate changes in the National Curriculum and to continue to offer a broad and balanced coverage of different academic subjects, the College has moved to a two-week timetable. This ensures greater flexibility of the provision offered by the College across both core and foundation subjects and maximises the efficiency of lesson allocation time.
This change results in an earlier finish time on a Tuesday, which allows for a greater variety of extra-curricular opportunities for the students as well as additional training time for staff, to ensure high quality, innovative teaching and learning.
