We know that when a child 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 Strathmore College.
Our college day
Unlike many traditional education establishments which see learners swap classes/activities on an hourly basis, our young people follow timetables with day-long sessions in some places. This helps to prepare them for the world of work, where they will spend the whole day focussing on one area.
We also recognise that ”transition” from one aspect of the day to another can be a significant challenge. To support learners with this, we build in periods of regulation to allow them to decompress.
