Our Centre Day

We’ve designed our school day to offer structure, support, and consistency—while making sure every young person feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
🕘 Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
🕐 Friday: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Where we’re based:
📍 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday – Your child will be based at Future Youth Zone
📍 Wednesday only – We’ll be at Jo Richardson School (Community Suite)
Our week is designed to combine learning, wellbeing, and personal growth—all in the right spaces for our young people to thrive.
Uniform Expectations
We believe that wearing the correct uniform helps create a sense of belonging, pride, and readiness to learn.
👕 All students are expected to wear their home school uniform at all times.
🎓 Key Stage 4 students may be offered a free centre uniform after a successful reintegration period.
We ask that all students attend appropriately dressed for a school setting. If a student arrives in clothing that is not suitable, we may ask them to return home to change—this will always be done with parental permission and clear communication.
Thank you for helping us maintain high standards and a positive learning environment.
Mobile Phones & Student Safety
To help maintain a focused and safe learning environment, we have clear expectations around mobile phones and safety procedures.
📵 Mobile Phones:
Students are not allowed to use mobile phones while at the centre. Phones must be handed in at the start of the day for safe keeping and will be returned at the end of the day.
Any student found with a phone during the day will receive a sanction in line with our behaviour policy.
🛡️ Searching Students:
To keep everyone safe, all students are searched and wanded each morning when they arrive. Additional searches may take place during the day if necessary. This is part of our commitment to ensuring a safe, calm, and respectful environment for all.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child.
