Info about study skills

Please remember if you have not handed in your work you are not allowed to study at home and must attend college between 840 and 305 or 405 if you have a period 6 lesson.

The research section of your study Skills module was due in on Monday.  Thank you so much to all those who have completed this and handed it in on time.  The essay is due in after Christmas.

Students who have handed the research in may if they wish go home to study when they are not in lessons. 

In the future students will be asked to study in College if:

·         We feel that they are falling behind with their work and would benefit from working in college

·         They have been placed on an intervention at stage 2 or above

·         We feel the research completed is not to a high enough standard

I hope you have benefitted from the study skills module.  Please give me any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Please remember if you have not handed in your work you are not allowed to study at home and must attend college between 840 and 305 or 405 if you have a period 6 lesson.
