The Post 16 working day runs from 8.30am to 3.55pm with an additional session that runs from 4.00pm to 5.15pm. This is for enrichment activities, such as Young Enterprise, or, very rarely, you might have a timetabled session at that time. All of your tutors work until 5.15pm, so there is always time to meet with them after timetabled sessions have finished, to seek extra advice and support. Furthermore, the Information Centre is open until 5.30pm Monday to Thursday, so you can remain at College to study.

In Year 12, five hours per week are dedicated to each main curriculum subject, with a further hour per week for Careers support and AS Level General Studies, as part of the compulsory core programme. A typical student, who is studying the equivalent at 4 AS Levels in Year 12, will have approximately 7-8 hours for personal study each week.
