The College Day
The College day begins at 8.50am. From 8.40am, members of staff are on duty to supervise students. We are unable to accept any responsibility for students who arrive before this time.
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.
