FAQ's
How many subjects can I take?
With the reforms of A Levels, with linear courses being phased in and modular courses being phased out, students will be advised to take 3 A Level courses from Year 12. A small minority of students take 4 courses, usually if studying Maths and Further Maths.
What will my timetable be like?
推女郎无圣光宅福利 have 9 lessons per fortnight of their chosen subjects, plus Silent Study periods and PSHE. Tutor time is 08:40 every morning for all students.
Lessons are 1 hour long and there are 5 of them per day. During the day you may have some 'free' periods which can be spent in the Common Room, the Library, or the allocated Sixth Form Computer Rooms. Some subjects have 'Period 6 lessons' which are from 15:15 to 16:15.
There are occasional whole year group assemblies in person or online.
Can I park on site?
Parking on site is unavailable. If you intend to drive to school, please be considerate of where you park and bear the local residents in mind when choosing a parking spot for your car. Public transport is recommended as local parking is limited.
Will my parents be informed of my progress?
Yes. Although we expect you to take more responsibility for yourself and for your learning once you are at Twynham, your parents will be able to view your attendance and progress reports online. If we believe that there might be a problem with your progress or your attendance then your parents will be contacted and your tutor will work with you to help you to get back on track.
Can I choose my tutor group?
No. All tutor groups and class lists are put together randomly which means that all students are in the same situation. We pride ourselves in bridging the gap between school and, for the majority of our students, university. Therefore meeting new people in a new environment is an important part of the process. We do have communal morning and lunch breaks when you can meet with your friends.
