​Students can access the site from 8.00am and registration is at 8.30am, followed by six 50-minute lessons. These lessons follow a broad and balanced curriculum with a focus on English and Maths and with transferable skills being an important theme for all subjects.

 

There is a 20-minute reading session each day during which students further their reading and literacy skills.

​

After standard lessons have finished students are able to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular enrichment activities. Our enrichment programme runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; one enrichment activity is compulsory for students in Year 7 and 8 until 4.10pm. Students studying in Year 9 and above may attend enrichment or be asked to stay for additional "booster sessions" until 4.10pm, designed to help them achieve more than they first thought possible.
