I do not need to wear a uniform unless my course states otherwise:• Hairdressing and beauty students will need

to wear a uniform.• Personal Protective Equipment such as steel

I will still be informed about my progress through parent’s evenings.

I will have a personal tutor and an allocated tutor session each week.

I will be expected to attend college for a minimum of 18 hours per week depending on my chosen course.• However I will still need to complete all work

set outside of my timetabled hours.

I will always need to wear an ID badge.• The college is an open campus so for security

reasons you will need to ensure you always wear visible identi� cation so that our security sta� know you are permitted to be on-site.
