Student Care on Active Revision

Active Revision

The wellbeing of all students on the revision course will be closely monitored by an experienced pastoral team who will be in constant dialogue with the teaching staff, instructors and refectory personnel to ensure that everyone is fully supported at all times.

Accommodation
A good night’s sleep is absolutely essential to retain the facts, skills and ideas that have been blossoming in students’ brains all day. With this in mind, bedtime is 22:15. Using devices is discouraged as it is proven to negatively impact sleep. Students are accommodated in a boarding house, in single or twin rooms. There are both male and female wings, each with its own Houseparent.
