School involvement Timetables If you have new students to the school staying with you, you will be posted their timetables once they have completed induction and subjects have been finalised (around a week after arrival). Returning students timetables will also be sent out at this time. Students timetables do vary with some having full days and others having free periods. Students are not allowed to return home during the school day apart from during pre-agreed study leave. All students must be in school for registration with their form tutors by 9am and should not return home until 4:30pm. After school events We hope that our host families will take interest in our students study and extracircular activates; encouraging them to join clubs and after school events. Host families receive a ‘weekly’ notices email with information regarding clubs and after school activities. Clubs and sports Abbey College Cambridge runs a variety of clubs which students are actively encouraged to join, currently there are over 60 clubs ranging from badminton to chess, football to yoga - there is certainly something for everyone to get involved with. Please encourage your students to join in with our college clubs and activities; joining a club is a great way for your students to meet new friends, have fun and enjoy something outside of studying! During the first few weeks of term, there is a clubs fair. This provides a great opportunity for students to talk to club leaders and sign up for a taster session. There are many studies that have looked into the positive effects of after school clubs on the brain, so please do all you can to encourage your students to join up. Students are given information about events, facilities and attractions within Cambridge, and it’s a good idea to encourage your students to go along. Of course attending a club after school, may mean that sometimes students return late missing the scheduled evening mealtime.
