We have a long tradition of going the extra mile with our students and this includes extra, free sessions on a Saturday mornings and during the school holidays to ensure our students get that extra nudge to get them over their individual line.

The Saturday sessions run between 9.30-11.30am. We recommend students bring a snack – though we will provide a hot drink – and they do not have to wear school uniform.

Some Saturday Schools are specifically targeted so are invite only, whilst others are open to all Year 11 and/or Year 13 students. Naturally, students and parents/carers will be informed in advance by teachers.

The sessions are voluntary – though there might be one or two students who find they are compulsory if we think they are lagging behind.

The current Saturday Schools are scheduled as follows:

Sam Sullivan, Assistant Headteacher, said: “The Saturday School session breed confidence, commitment and aspiration. They allow students a change to check, ask questions and to reflect on what they need to do. We would recommend all students to attend whenever they have the opportunity to do so.”
