WE OFFER OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCES BEYOND THE CURRICULUM

Our Q-XTRA programme, trips, clubs, societies and events give you opportunities to develop yourself and try new things. Not only will this make your college experience more enjoyable, it will give you the edge when applying to university, for apprenticeships or for jobs.

PREPARING FOR LESSONS

At Barton Peveril, teachers will not simply tell you what you need to know. They will expect you to read around your subjects and bring ideas to share in class. Pre-work will form an important part of your personal learning plan, ensuring you are well-prepared for each lesson and able to make the most of your teachers’ expertise. There will, of course, be homework, coursework and assignments too.

MANAGING YOUR TIME

Becoming more independent means owning your studies. You will need to develop the research skills that enable you to find things out for yourself and ask for help when you don’t understand something. You will be studying for as many hours outside of lessons as you will in the classroom; timetabled study periods will allow you to get lots of your work completed in College if you manage your time maturely.

MAKING LEARNING YOUR PRIORITY

At Barton Peveril, we set the bar high and provide bespoke guidance to ensure you achieve your potential. Learning is our priority and you’ll need to make it yours too. We’ll help you set realistic but challenging targets for your future, which you will make a reality.

ENCOURAGEMENT AND FEEDBACK

Updates from your progress reviews and teacher feedback will be available to you and your parents throughout your studies. You’ll always know how well you are doing and where you can focus your efforts to achieve the best outcome possible.
