Lesson four
Hi. I’m Lauren. I’m studying A Levels, and this is my Thursday at Brock…
07:30am – 9:00am
Arrival
I drive me and my friends to college every morning, which gives us chance to have a chat and listen to music. I have a permit to park on campus, which means my car is safe and secure.
09:00am – 10:30am
Lesson one
I go to my Geography lesson and sit with my best friend, Bella. We work together well because we each understand how the other likes to learn.
10:30am – 10:50am
Break
Bella and I meet up with the rest of our friends in the The Quad, which is a covered courtyard area in the main building with picnic benches and table tennis tables. I normally have a snack at this point.
10:50am – 12:20pm
Lesson two
Lesson two is Biology, where I sit with my friend, Amy, who I met at Brock. We enjoy doing lab work together and share a lot of similarities.
12:20pm – 1:10pm
Lunch
I choose to spend Thursday lunchtime at the Students’ Union. This is an Brock-Extra option I chose in my first year. Since then, I’ve become the Vice President.
1:10pm – 2:40pm
Lesson three
Lesson three is a Study Period, which gives me the opportunity to tackle homework and revision. I always use Brock Hub as a space to study because it has lots of quality learning resources.
2:50pm – 4:20pm
Lesson four
Lesson four is Environmental Science. I particularly love how this course has linked directly to my other subjects. My teachers have been brilliant. For example, they often incorporate important tips for exam success into our lessons.
Your Learning
Your Study Programme and our approach to learning work together to give you the study skills and support you need to get the most out of college.
You will create an individual Study Programme (SP) that will serve as your overarching strategy for success. The main feature of your SP will be your subject or subjects. To complement these formal studies, you will add your choice of Enrichments and/or academy commitments. Weekly tutorials with your Academic Tutor will be another important SP feature. You will also use your SP to set targets for independent learning as part of our Blended Learning approach. This independent learning may be completed remotely or on campus. And, last but not least, you will have timetabled slots for engaging with our Next Steps progression initiative.
