student.
• Non-curricular targets are the same for all students
and have to be met in their entirety.
• Credits should be collected in the diary by students
and signed in the Passport by their tutor.
• The following circumstances, during Year 11, will mean
immediate non-attendance to the Prom:
– an exclusion

– breaking the rules on a trip or at a College event
– bringing the College’s reputation into disrepute.
