Form time is a dedicated 25-minute period at the start of each day that helps to guide the students through their personal development at the school. Every year group follows a timetable of activities with set tasks and resources which are delivered through their form tutor. Below is the topic timetable for each year group followed by a short description of each activity.
Each week there is a topic that the students are introduced to which is linked to the topic of the term (please see form time mapping).
