Student facilities
The college offers many facilities for students not only for learning, but for help with certain personal issues, such as bullying.
Out of school hours learning (OSHL)
Students have access to after-school clubs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the college provides a late bus for the students to travel home on after the normal school buses have departed. Many of these clubs are sports clubs, for students to represent the school in sports such as football, rugby union, and netball. Revision sessions for various subjects take place as well.
Student support services (S3)
S3 is a room which students can talk to 'friendly' adults and school prefects about problems, be it in college or outside, and they can be sorted out. If the students are being bullied or need advice but do not want to talk to an adult about it, they are free to talk to a student in year 11 from the 'Here to Hear' group.
