Year 11 Curriculum & Arrangements

Term will formally start on Monday September 9^th.

Year 11 sessions will be three hours a day, Monday to Wednesday, and up to four hours on a Friday to take one or more science subjects.

Monday to Wednesday there will be an option to arrive early to take part in Sports Coaching with Sport Elite 11.30-1.30 pm each day.

We will also be offering a variety of activities on Freedom Thursdays and Freaky Fridays that are themed sessions supported by staff and guided by the students who attend and respond to the stimuli offered.

It is hoped that most parents will wish to sign their young people up for the three three-hour afternoons; however, depending on demand, there may be the opportunity to join the team for just one or two subjects per day. Priority will be given to those wishing to attend all three hours.

The Sport elite session will take place 11.30-1.30pm three times a week and will be open to all home educators to enjoy.

The cost of the classes will depend on the number of students enrolled in each.

We will be taking bookings throughout the summer holiday and will advise parents of the charge of the session before the term formally starts on Monday September 9th. If only one student has enrolled for a class, parents will be given the option to withdraw before the first session occurs.

We ask that parents commit to a minimum of six sessions , giving three weeks notice if they do not wish to renew their booking for the next group of six weeks.

Cancellation Policy

Where staff availability exists, one to one sessions can be rescheduled once per half term, all other classes must be paid in full.
