We know that when a young person joins our college, their whole family is part of the journey. That’s why we keep communication open, expectations clear and support consistent so you always feel informed and involved.
Below, you’ll find practical information about day-to-day life at Aspris College North Wales.
Our college day is structured to support focus, balance and wellbeing and good attendance is essential to provide the best education for our young people:
Students attend 4 days a week, from 9am – 3pm. The days will be shared with our young people and family/carer once a place has been allocated. These hours help young people manage their energy, build routine and still have time to rest or reflect at the end of the day.
College is open 5 days a week, with reception covered from 8:30am – 4:30pm.
We don’t have a compulsory uniform. Instead, students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that suits their needs.
We’ve learned that this flexible approach helps reduce anxiety and allows students to express themselves while feeling safe and ready to learn.
Students can either bring in their own lunch or buy from a local shop. Our café is open four days a week where students can purchase food. Students also have access to kettles, microwaves, and hobs if they need them.
• Secure storage: Young people are given access to a secure locker where they can store their personal items.
• Voicing opinions: All students are encouraged to share their opinions at student council meetings. They’re also asked to be active members of the college community and share their thoughts during their house group’s Power Hour.
• Leisurely lunch: We have a variety of lunchtime activities or we encourage students to start their own club if they have an interest in something specific.
• Communication: We want to work in partnership with you. You’ll receive regular updates about your child’s progress and wellbeing and we encourage you to talk to us whenever you need to check in.
