Thank you for your patience over the past week, whilst we finalise the arrangements for the start of the academic year. With the new arrangements needed for blended learning, timetabling has taken a little longer than expected, but we are now able to confirm some dates for your next steps to returning to education.

Timetables

You will receive notification by the end of the day on Monday 7th September that your timetable is now ready to view, and confirmation of whether you are part of the Week A cohort or Week B.

Please note that timetables have been very carefully balanced to allow for the current restrictions on class sizes. Once you have been allocated to a group, you will not be able to swap unless there is an error on your timetable such as lessons missing, clashes or incorrect subjects.

If there is an error on your timetable, a timetable clinic will be held on Tuesday 8th September from 10.00am to 12.00pm. You will need to attend in person and you will be able to see a member of staff who will resolve any errors for you.
