The Learning Centre Day
College Hours
- Doors Open at 8:45am
- College Starts at 9:00am, students arriving after 9:10am will be marked in the register as late
- Morning break –10:40am to 10:55am
- Lunchtime –12:25pm to 1:35pm
- College Ends at 3:10pm
The beginning and end of the day are very important times in our College and all pupils are based in their form rooms with their class tutor and support staff until 9:10am. Registers are marked, pupils choose their lunch, if they are having a College meal, and the morning sessions allow for focused intervention and preparation for the coming day. Any problems, worries or issues can be resolved before they impact on teaching time. Notes and messages from home are also dealt with during this time. Your child will follow their timetable through the College day until returning to the form room where home-College messages, after-College club and transport arrangements are made.
Attendance
If your child is absent from College, you must notify College via Arbor,
our online communication tool. If you are unable to access the app, parents should ring: 0161 883 2402 and Press 4 to report your child’s absence. Please report your child’s absence by 9.30am at the latest.
We also request that you inform College each subsequent day that your child is absent from College until their return. If we have not heard from you, we are obliged to investigate your child’s absence. Your child’s absence is a safeguarding issue until we have confirmation of why they are absent.
What to do if your young person is refusing to attend College
If your young person is refusing to attend, you must contact the Pastoral Coordinator who will then support you and your family.
