Introduction by the PrincipalThis booklet has been designed with the
particular needs of parents in mind. The
College places high value on the involvement
of parents. We are aware that a number of
items of information and guidance provided to
students within College are also of use and
importance to parents.
The College prospectus provides much
basic information and you will also receive
newsletters and other communications whilst
your son or daughter is enrolled at College.
Every student in College has access to the
Student Portal and this provides a lot of
detailed information for students.
Please contact your son’s / daughter’s
Personal Tutor or Head of Section or a
member of the Senior Leadership Team if
there is further information or advice that
you need, or an issue that you wish to discuss.
The College values are:
Excellence; Can-Do Attitude; Courage; Respect; Team Working and Achievement Driven
