Additional Course Information

Our Expectations of You

At SS&L, we’re proud to offer courses for 16-19 year olds that are in high demand. To help all learners make the most of these opportunities, we ask for full commitment to your learning. This includes attending regularly, arriving on time, and actively participating in all sessions.

Learners who drop below 90% attendance may risk losing their place on the course. However, we understand that challenges can arise, and we are committed to working with you to prevent this from happening. We encourage you to speak to your tutor as soon as possible so we can work together to find a solution.

We also value the role of parents and carers in motivating learners and helping them stay on track. By working together, we can ensure learners achieve their full potential and make the most of these highly sought-after courses.

For further information, please see our SS&L Learner Behaviour Policy.
