Alternatively, Strive can provide lunch for students, additional costs may apply. There will always be a hot option and fruit available. Students can access drinks at no additional charge.

Mobile Phones:
We recognise that students and parents see that having access to a mobile phone is part of modern life.
Mobile phones have become an essential way in which parents and carers can keep in touch with students. It is important however, that the use of a phone does not interfere with learning or cause a distraction or disruption to school life.
All students hand their phones in at reception for safe keeping before both the morning and afternoon learning sessions. If a student needs to make a phone call, they should ask to use the office phone. Students have phones returned at lunchtimes.
*Further details of the Mobile phone policy and a student agreement form will be supplied during the induction and admissions process.
