Rules & Regulations

Although the College has a relaxed, adult atmosphere, students are still expected to abide by some key rules and regulations, some of which are detailed below. For more information, please see the Charter and Policies section of the website, which gives details of our College Charter, Equality and Diversity, Child Protection and other policies.

 

What is the College attendance policy?

All students are given copies of their personal timetable, which is available on request, and are expected to attend all timetabled sessions and classes. Attendance records are kept and you will be notified if your son or daughter fails to attend College, without prior notice, on three consecutive occasions.

 

What is the College drugs policy?

The College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment and recognises that students who misuse drugs to an extent that it affects their health, achievement and conduct may compromise this. It is unlawful for students to possess or supply illegal drugs and the College has a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to drug and substance misuse, reserving the right to suspend any student found to be in possession of or supplying drugs. We do however, acknowledge the complexities of drug use and misuse within society and wish to provide appropriate and meaningful support to all our students whilst strongly and actively discouraging the use or possession of drugs.

 

Who do I contact if I have any worries or concerns?

The best results for your son or daughter will be achieved if we work together. If you have any concerns or would like to find out how your son or daughter is getting on call Tel: 01483 44 85 00 and ask to speak to their personal tutor (contact details will be provided at the start of the course). You will also have the opportunity to attend parents’ evenings.
