ICHS Supervised Study Space

During Study Leave, a supervised space will be provided for any young person who feels they would rather study in school.

In order to use the space, pupils must sign up for the days they intend on using this space. A sign in/sign out system will operate. Due to the fact that all pupils are on Study Leave, no attendance groupcalls will be provided to report on attendance.

The school will provide a space with desks and computers and a member of staff to supervise and ensure that the rules of the study space are upheld.

To use the ICHS Supervised Study Space all pupils must:  

*attend in full school uniform
*stay in the room for the duration of the study slot they have booked
*only use the time and space for study
*bring any required materials
*only access the dining hall and social areas during break and lunchtimes
*Adhere to normal school rules regarding mobile phone use and our values of Honesty, Kindness and Respect

The following are not possible in the ICHS Study Space:  

*coming and going from the room 
*studying in any other part of the school other than the allocated room 

During Study Leave, teachers are engaged in other tasks. It cannot be assumed that teachers will be available at normal period times. If any student wishes to see a teacher, they will have to contact the teacher and agree a time to sign in.
