If you have any other queries regarding your timetable e-mail exams@stbarts.co.uk

Discuss options with your Tutor and with members of the Sixth Form team and consider revisiting universities etc
MESSAGES FOR ALL STUDENTS

Car Parking: Students are reminded that you are not allowed to park on the main school site. Students are also reminded that they must stick to the hard-standing area of the Wormestall field and not stray onto the field itself. Student passes will be issued in the next couple of weeks. If you have not already done so, please complete a car registration form and hand it to Mrs Garrety. Students are also reminded that if you park in the wrong place, and you are challenged by a member of staff, you need to respond with appropriate politeness.
Bra Bank: The Bra Bank is an initiative instigated by tutor group, P3 as their tutor team project. Clean bras, in any condition, can be deposited in the ‘bank’ and will be sent off to ‘Against Breast Cancer’ to raise money for research. If you would like to contribute, please drop them into the container in D110. This is an ongoing project with no cut-off date so please think of us in the future when you’re replacing your bras.
