Mobile Phones
We encourage the use of mobile technologies as an aid to teaching and learning. Students in the sixth form must set an example to younger students and follow the academy policy. Mobile phones or any other electronic devices (Air pods or other headphones) are not to be used or seen between the hours of 8.30am and 3.00pm.
The exceptions to this are using devices in the CHAL and the ILC for study purposes, as well as when directed by staff in lessons. This is a privilege that Sixth Form students are given. Mobile phones will be confiscated if students do not meet our expectations.
Driving
Student cars are not allowed on site at any time. Students are not permitted to arrange driving lessons during the school day. Attendance at Driving Theory and Practical tests will be authorised providing the absence is requested in advance and evidence provided.
If you choose to park in the roads around the school, please be aware that our neighbours may need to be able to get in and out of their drives during the day. Please ensure that you park thoughtfully, legally and are not overlapping anyone’s driveway. Please see the parking guide from the RAC, which gives advice on where you can and can’t park.
