The following should be considered when reading this document: It is assumed that students who are either short stay or are in years 10 or below will meet their Gatsby or CEIAG requirements with their home school although where possible those particular students will be encouraged to participate in our activities as an addition, with the information available to the home school. We consider ourselves to be responsible for students in year 11 that are long stay and all post 16.
