Supervised Study
An excellent after-school study facility is offered for two hours at the end of each school day. It is particularly designed to suit third years, fifth years and sixth years with other year groups included subject to availability of places. This facility will provide students with an opportunity to develop a structured approach to their studies in preparation for their state and school examinations. It is worth noting that study is conducted in a strict, regimented and no-nonsense atmosphere conducive to academic rigour. The study centres are well supervised and an attendance record is taken. Parents or guardians are informed of absence by immediate text message.
