Academic Clinics & Prep
Clinics
Academic Clinics are held each week day Tuesday through to Friday at 5.30pm. These are open to all pupils and provide a constant and regular period when a member of each Department will be readily accessible to any pupil. These Clinics are valuable in assisting pupils who may be struggling with their work generally or a particular piece of prep or who simply wish to seek further guidance on their subject outside of the classroom. Monday's 5.30pm schedule is used for Tutor periods.


Prep
Prep forms an important part of the curriculum timetable providing an opportunity for independent study, further development of a subject outside of the classroom, and of course an opportunity for Teachers and Tutors to assess the pupils' understanding and progress in each subject. Prep for 3rd and 4th Form pupils is of half an hour duration per subject; for 5th Form pupils, prep is 40 minutes each. Prep for 6th Form is not formally timetabled, but normally amounts to at least 4 hours per week per GCE A level subject. Prep may also include a variety of other tasks, over a period of time, such as reading and research.
