Stay Focused
If you're like me, you're probably guilty of occasionally wasting time on Facebook and other social sites when you should be doing something more important. Stay Focused is a Chrome extension designed to help you stop wasting time on those sites and get your work done. With Stay Focused installed you can set a time limit for yourself on the sites that you tend to waste time on. Once you've used up your self-allotted time on those sites you won't be able to revisit them in that browser until the next day (or other time you select).

ESP Programme 2012-13
This year to help avoid clashes and reduce the pressures on you we have developed an individual Extra Support Programme (ESP) for Year 11 pupils.
This runs after school Monday to Thursday and will rotate throughout your timetable.
Each subject has its own day and the subject teacher will be advising you on the rooming. The current paper version of the timetable is on Gold paper. This runs until the end of November 2012.
An electronic version can be seen here or by clicking on the Extra Support Programme above.
No support session have been timetabled for Fridays as we want to encourage you and the staff into a positive work life balance.
Also on the timetable are ICT support session for you to use to catch up on typing or research.
You may also find you are invited to Controlled Assessment Extra Support Sessions by Mr Knight or Mr Porteous.
Any question please ask or use the comments box below.
