Start of Term Arrangements 2025

Welcome Back – September 2025

We’re delighted to welcome all our students—both those returning for Year 13 and those joining us for the first time in Year 12—as we begin a new academic year together.

Year 13 Subject Induction Day – Wednesday 3rd September

This day is designed to help you reconnect with your subjects and get off to a confident start. You’ll meet your subject teachers (if new), find your classrooms, get to know your classmates, and attend your first Year 13 lessons. Timetables will be distributed on the day, and all students will take part in a welcome session followed by a full day of timetabled sessions. Please also ensure you attend your scheduled CORE assembly.

Before returning for the full timetable on Monday, you’ll be given wider study tasks to complete.

Timing: 09.00–15.30 (Sign-in from 08.30)


Year 12 Orientation Day – Thursday 4th September

A very warm welcome to our new Year 12 students! This day is all about helping you settle in: you’ll meet other students, explore the Centre, receive your lanyard and ID badge, and take part in a range of activities designed to give you a successful start.

Timing: 09.00–13.15 (Arrival from 08.30)


Year 12 Subject Induction Day – Friday 5th September

On Friday, you’ll take part in your first subject lessons, meet your teachers, and receive your Year 12 timetable. You’ll also attend a CORE assembly as part of your induction. This is a great chance to get a feel for your subjects and prepare for the full start on Monday.

Timing: 09.00–15.15 (Sign-in from 08.30)


We’re looking forward to a positive and purposeful start to the year. Whether you’re returning or just joining us, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Let’s make it a great year!

Get Ready: Pre-Enrolment Tasks for September 2025

Before you officially join us in September 2025, each subject will set a Pre-Enrolment Task to help you prepare for the exciting journey ahead. These tasks are designed to introduce you to key concepts, spark your curiosity, and give you a head start in your chosen subjects.

📝 What to expect?
You’ll complete these tasks over the summer before term begins. They’ll help you feel confident and ready to hit the ground running in Year 12.

🌐 Now live!
The tasks are now available via our Google Site. Make sure to complete them before the start of term.
