Students tend to worry about being late for lessons when they first come to the College. The reality is that teachers are understanding and students help each other. Students quickly get to know their way around the campus as the layout and room numbering is easy to understand once you are here.

Students in year 7 to 11 are able to arrive at College from 7.30am. However, we ask that they remain in the Dome or our Library until 8.15am when they can access their lockers in all other buildings. After school there are a variety of extra-curricular activities for your child to join. In addition to this, they are welcome to stay in College and work in the Library until 5pm.

Sixth form students have full use of the Sixth Form Centre from 7.30am until 5pm.

College Bus Service

There is a regular College bus service provided by Liberty Bus for students from JCG and Victoria College (on some routes, they are also joined by students from other schools). Information and timetables are available from the Liberty Bus Website

The school buses are timetabled to arrive at College well before 8.25am to allow a prompt start to registration and morning lessons.

For more information you can visit the Liberty Bus website.

Parking – Drop Off & Collection of Students

• There is a designated drop-off for students in the top car park on the lower level, which is managed by site staff between 8.00am and 8.30am.
• Designated pick-up is managed by site staff from 2.45pm (Prep School) until 3.45pm when the buses leave.
• Parents should not pick up or drop off on the main road or in the visitors’ car park outside College House or at Langford Sports Centre, as this is unsafe and gives rise to many Health and Safety issues.

All term dates are available on the government website

Academic mentoring is an integral part of the tutorial system and academic mentoring sessions are an opportunity for a conversation between a mentor and student related to learning. Academic mentoring enhances the ethos of tracking student progress to ensure that each student knows where they are with their learning, where they have made progress, what they need to do to improve and what targets they need to set in order to further their progress.

At JCG we have students with a variety of talents and interests and we aim to give them a large range of activities to choose from. These do change on a termly basis so please refer here.
