FAQ

  • Is there a uniform? The dress code was sent home in June, and all students should come to school dressed in such a way that they could walk out of school and into a professional interview.
  • Can my child leave the school site? Students in Y12 & 13 can study at home if parents sign the home study agreement. This privilege can be revoked at any time to support student learning and achievement
  • Who do I contact if my child is unwell or needs to miss school?  Please email attendance to report any absence on each day. With dental, GP and other appointments, please try to make these in a non-contact time.  Students cannot have driving lessons during the school day.  Students must not work during school hours, and they must work no more than 8 hours in paid employment a week.
