Community Hour

What is it & When is it?

Community hour is a compulsory timetabled lesson on all Year 12 & 13 student timetables. This takes place weekly, on Mondays p5 (1:35-2:35pm). Some weeks will be targeted for specific students and you will be informed if you are in or working independently.

Non attendance will affect your overall attendance figure.

Students will need to bring their laptops (with charge) each week in order to make the most of these sessions.
