Induction Days - Tuesday 1st or Wednesday 2nd September

Get hands-on with our online learning systems

You will receive an email mid July confirming the exact date and time of your induction.

Start of term – Thursday 3rd September

Your normal timetable begins on Thursday 3rd September. You’ll be able to access it through the student portal (CEDAR). We’ll notify you by email when it’s available, and you'll gain full portal access during your induction.

What to bring on the Induction Day

To support your learning from day one, please bring:

A laptop or tablet (see below)
Pens/pencils
A4 pad of paper
Headphones (for online activities)

We encourage all students to bring a digital device (laptop or tablet) to lessons to help blend classroom and online learning. More details about our Technology Ready Scheme, including financial support and loan devices, are available here.
