At LVS Hassocks, we appreciate that new students may need a gradual transition into the school. Our therapy and pastoral teams work closely with all our students, parents/carers and professionals to ensure that the needs of each individual is met during their transition phase.
On joining LVS Hassocks, you may start on a reduced timetable, which is built up over a number of weeks and until the six-week review meeting so that you can discuss your progress and plans can be made to overcome any issues that may have come to light.
The school day starts at 9:30 a.m. with morning tutor time, followed by lessons 1, 2 and 3 with breaks between the lessons.
We encourage all our students to take advantage of our many lunch time clubs, which include a sports/football field, Art club and ICT club. At 1:15pm, students spend time back in their tutor groups and we encourage them to use this time to participate in tutor activities, do some quiet reading or raise any concerns with their tutors. Lessons 4, 5 and 6 follow tutor time, again with breaks between the lessons, and the school day finishes at 4:00 p.m.
Some of your lessons will be in the classroom, whilst others will be offsite with relevant teams.
On Fridays, we have an assembly, during which we recognise students’ achievements with certificates.
On Fridays, the school day finishes at 2.30pm.
Summer came to us from mainstream school with large classroom sizes and is now benefiting from our teaching style and dedicated staff. Watch her story here.
