The eight top qualities of successful young (21-30) employees ‘Association of Graduate Recruitment’

Our Expectations All students study three Level 3 courses (unless completing a GCSE re-sit) All students must wear an ID badge...at all time...at all schools. If this badge is lost or damaged it must be replaced at the cost of £3.00 to the student During the first half term ALL students are expected to remain in school during their study periods. This is for the following reasons... Helps to aid the transition from Y11 to Post 16 study Allows students to make a good start to all lessons (punctuality, attendance, ability to meet deadlines and quality of work) Allows for timetables to settle down in case any changes need to be made Encourages students to ask for help if they need to whilst studying in school Appreciates the time when given back for students to manage themselves During the last week of this half term (w/c 16th October) students will be able to discuss a more flexible timetable with their tutor
