1. Introduction
This handbook is designed to provide some details about Cherwell College Oxford. It is written for students (although there is a section that your parents or guardian should read) and should make life a little easier for you if you read it carefully. It contains information on how the academic day is organised, how the grading system works and how your parents will be able to obtain information on your studies.
History
Founded in 1972, Cherwell College Oxford is a leading Pre-University Tutorial College specialising in individual (one-to-one) and small group tuition (seminars with 4-5 students).
Pre-University: the College focus lies in A-level and GCSE study but with an accent on preparation for life at university.
Students are respected as young adults and respond through a responsible approach to academic studies and by a mature attitude to student life.
Our students mainly choose traditional A-level subjects and through guidance, identify goals for university and beyond.
Students choose their subjects from any of the Examination Boards: AQA, CIE, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC.
Our tutors are high achieving academics from leading universities with the ability to communicate knowledge, thereby inspiring our students, making learning exciting and enjoyable.
Our full-time students are often joined by students seeking part-time support, through our short-term programmes:
Easter Revision (for May-June exams) at the University of Oxford; Christmas Revision;
Preparation for Oxbridge entrance exams and interview preparation for entrance to study in Medicine or Law pre-A-level or pre-GCSE summer courses.
Students can join Cherwell College Oxford at any point in the year
Students (depending on their determination) can study over 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 academic terms
We will help you to establish true direction for university and for life

2. Aims and Philosophy
Cherwell College Oxford has thrived through its reputation for putting students first and they are treated as an individual.
We believe this will be the key to their success in life.
Students at the College mainly study traditional A-level subjects, while a smaller number study for (I)GCSE examinations.
Students board in our Cherwell House residence. The College also has day students.
The College is proud to have pioneered Easter Revision courses: successful for more than twenty five years – a new concept in education in the 1980s and widely imitated ever since.
Cherwell College Oxford has a long association with the University of Oxford, where students attending revision courses might live and study.
Students from leading independent and state schools enrol on the programme and the dual inspiration of the University environment and Cherwell's teaching has taken many students to grades, which have surpassed their expectations.
The College also offers an excellent programme of interview preparation for applicants to Oxford and Cambridge, studies in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science, and most recently, a programme geared around the tests set by leading UK universities in Law, History and English.
Cherwell College Oxford also prepares students for the 'Ivy League' universities in the USA.
Cherwell College Oxford provides an IELTS study programme for International students to achieve a grade of 7.5 in all disciplines.
Students also attend Cherwell College Oxford for short-term study throughout the year, at holidays, weekends, half-term and school exeats.

Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
Coming to the end of compulsory schooling can be liberating but can also be challenging - there are many choices to be made. We help you understand your options, decide on your direction and provide support to achieve your goals. With an absolute focus on you as an individual, we listen to you; learn about your interests, ambitions and concerns. We then design a course of study that best reflects all these aspects.
If you have a clear goal we will ensure that you are working steadily towards it. If your goal remains unclear, we will ensure that you include subjects that will keep your options open for university and for a future career.
Young adults need to be supported as they work, to understand the balance between the demands of study and the practicalities of everyday life.
Our students are supported but are also encouraged to stand more and more on their own feet, to gain a foretaste of what a university will expect of them.
Our aim is to send you on to university and to a career where you will be able to work independently for the benefit of yourself and those around you.
3. Tutoring
Cherwell College Oxford’s strength lies in the system of one-to-one tuition by academic staff who combine academic flair with enthusiasm and creativity.
Cherwell's tutors include academics, experienced teachers, engineers, physicists and scientists who are united by their passion for their field and desire to impart this knowledge to students. Our academic tutors are often Oxbridge graduates (PhD and Masters).
The personalised nature of the tuition system at Cherwell College Oxford provides an insight into the degree of specialism and depth of knowledge required at leading universities.
Cherwell College Oxford is different because the Pre-University approach offers one-to-one tuition with a focus on your needs as an individual to progress to university.
Tutorial classes are attended daily and supported with seminar discussions, lectures and mock exams. The combination of tuition geared to the individual student, interactive seminar study, the development of a wide range of problem-solving abilities and an extension of writing skills in the mock exams is a perfect preparation for public examination.
Weekly and monthly reports for each subject allow parents the opportunity to follow academic progress of their children and identify weaknesses and goals for the coming weeks and months – all of which will build towards success in the final examinations.
Cherwell’s students’ progress to university with a mature and self–confident approach with a resourcefulness to take on higher challenges. We help students to articulate their academic interests and to work successfully towards their goals, through a mixture of support and increasing self-reliance.

6
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
early deadline for Oxbridge application (October 15th); an interview; Copies of written work to be sent to the selected college; subject-specific tests.
Careful preparation, particularly for the interview, is therefore very important.
Our Oxbridge Entrance Programme offers our current and visiting students full support throughout the application process. We provide advice on the choice of Oxbridge college and degree course, guidance to draft the personal statement section of the UCAS form and advice on selecting and developing written work for submission. Most importantly, we provide preparation for the interview stage, helping you to move beyond A2 level study and to approach your specialist subject from different angles and in more depth.
We provide mock interviews with feedback, making clear which aspects were good and highlighting areas for improvement. In addition to the mock interviews, we also provide preparation for subject-specific entry tests, which might be set prior to the interview stage.
8. Short-term study
Students come to us at any point in the year for extra help with their studies. We offer tuition during Easter, Christmas, summer holidays, half-term and exeat weekends as well as evenings for students from other schools and colleges looking to maximize their potential and improve their grades.
Why do students choose Cherwell for extra support?
to revise for public exams and build confidence; to identify and improve areas of weaknesses in a particular subject; to catch up missed school hours, through illness, personal reasons or teacher absence; overcome barriers to learning due to dyslexia or dyspraxia - we offer a sensitive and encouraging approach;
the need to achieve the very highest level of performance for entrance to top universities and prestigious courses in Medicine, Veterinary Science, Dentistry and Engineering.
We contribute to building your confidence and increasing your knowledge by pinpointing problems and helping you address them through guided study and homework. We provide all-important feedback on your work to help you consolidate the academic progress you have made with us. Short-stay accommodation can also be provided.

11. Students’ life – multicultural environment
Although many of our students are from the UK and Europe, we have a number of overseas students from: Africa, Asia, Australia, China, Eastern Europe, India, Japan, Philippines. This offers the exciting prospect of understanding more about religions and cultures in a free and tolerant community. We ensure that the necessary dietary and other everyday life arrangements are part of the College structure.
Activities and sport are voluntary at Cherwell College Oxford, as are all the extra-curricular activities, which are on offer. We encourage students to join Oxford University Sports Centre and Oxford University Club as they provide all the necessary facilities and sports activities, which can satisfy your expectations. Our students become members of the illustrious Oxford Union, which is adjacent to our Study Centre, where the students can use Oxford Union library for self-study. Furthermore, students can attend the debates, which feature high-profile UK and International speakers. Being a member of The Oxford Union enables our students to fraternise with Oxford University students.
12. Arrival at Cherwell College Oxford
The Vice Principal and the Director of Studies will be available to meet students and parents to discuss any queries regarding their schedule.

Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
Students are welcome to bring electrical equipment with them, such as a hairdryer etc, but for safety reasons they must submit the equipment to our Welfare Officer and/or residential tutor to ensure that Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is carried out (i.e. correct plug and fuse are fitted) – a Health & Safety requirement.
If a student is ill and unable to attend tutorials they should inform the on-site Welfare Officer and/or residential tutor by 8.30 am.
There is a time set aside each weekday evening for prep and students are expected to work in quiet conditions. We recommend that if a student cannot finish their work the night before, they should set their alarm clock and get up an hour earlier the following morning.
13. Your working day – timetable and sport activities
During your first day at Cherwell College, Oxford, you will receive your timetable with the specific lesson times. In general, students’ working hours are between 9.00 am and 1.00 pm in the mornings, 2.00 pm and sport activities between 4 pm and 6 pm.
The College holds regular staff meetings where students’ weekly/monthly reports and grades are discussed. You will be assessed in each subject and informed of your grades by your Tutor. At meetings with your tutor you have the opportunity to plan strategies and set targets for the coming month. It is a process designed to help you make the most of your abilities and your time at Cherwell College Oxford. Your parents/guardians will be sent a copy of these reports, with comments from the Principal or Vice-Principal. We are confident that with this careful monitoring you will improve your study techniques and learn to take greater responsibility for your own studies.
All colleges and schools have examinations and Cherwell College Oxford is no exception. No matter what you are studying you will be involved in examinations for your modules.
14. System of academic progress reports and grades
The weekly and monthly academic progress reports and grades are the key factor for monitoring students’ progress. They serve several purposes: they reflect what you know and where you stand in relation to your progress in each of your subjects on a regular basis. The academic progress reports and grades also give parents or guardians valuable information about students’ performance.
The academic progress reports on each subject provide a review of your academic achievements and usually include: topics covered since the last report; comment on student’s work (technique, ability to present coherent argument, oral work, problem -solving skills, ability to assimilate subject material); ability to work independently; results of timed work (grade or %), comment upon performance; details of attendance and punctuality; areas marked for improvement; any further comments or observations on students’ progress; comments (if any) from the Vice-Principal or Director of Studies examination board;

Proposed public examination date.
The attainment grades are in line with the national grading system at A-level and (I)GCSE levels, and are a very good indicator of the quality of work produced. It must be stressed that they cannot be precise in terms of eventual examination results, but if you take an “average” over a period of time you will have a reasonable indication of what you could achieve if you reproduced the same standard of work in the examination.
At staff meetings, academic progress reports and grades are discussed and tutors explain the reasons for their grades to the Director of Studies and the Vice Principal. If your academic progress reports and grades are disappointing, your tutor will be discussing with you the way forward for the following months. You should see this as a partnership and set yourself realistic objectives. If your academic progress reports and grades are good, the discussion will centre on how to maintain or improve them.
15. General information
Our Welfare Officer will assist you to open an account with a local bank, if required.
Mobile Telephones: are very useful - however, please remember that the sound of them ringing at inappropriate times is very annoying and we ask students to make sure your telephone is switched off during lesson or private study.
Post: can be delivered to Cherwell House, Osney Lane, Oxford OX1 1BZ.
Computers, tablets and phones: Wi-Fi is available on all College premises.
Information boards and messages: The main information boards are in Frewin Court Tutorial Rooms and Cherwell House.
Taxis and other transport: Taxi fares can (by agreement from your parents) be put on your “extras” account. The College secretary can arrange for a taxi to collect you from the airport - please contact by telephone or e-mail, giving all your flight details. The Administration Office is not always open during Christmas, Easter or half-term holidays, so you will need to book your taxis for the beginning of the term at the end of the previous term when arrangements are being made for your departure.
Personal belongings and insurance: The College cannot accept any responsibility for your personal belongings, so you are advised not to bring valuables to the College. However, we do ask you to deposit any passports, airline tickets etc. with the College secretary for safe-keeping.
Although the College has an “open door” policy and thefts are usually rare, in a community where facilities are shared it is all too easy for things to get lost, mistakenly removed or put away by the wrong person. We therefore strongly advise you to check that your parents’ insurance covers your belongings while you are away at college, especially personal computers, mp3 players, and mobile telephones. Although many items may be retrieved, sometimes this is not possible and it is best to make sure that your belongings are insured in case you are unlucky. You should also be aware that we will not tolerate stealing. Any student caught doing so will be asked to leave immediately.
10
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
By special arrangement, you may leave some of your belongings over the summer holiday if you are returning in September (charges incurred), but they must be securely boxed up and each item must be clearly labelled with your name. The college cannot accept responsibility for items that are left behind, so do check that your parents’ insurance policy will cover their replacement if they go missing.
Guardianship
If you are coming to Cherwell College Oxford from abroad it is possible that you will already have someone in the UK who can support and help you if you experience any difficulties or who can help you with holiday or weekend arrangements. This is usually a relative or close family friend. However, if not, then we strongly recommend that your parents appoint a guardian in the UK. We can suggest services of well-established guardianship organisations, which specialise in providing all the support you may need whilst at Cherwell College Oxford. We have worked with these organisations for many years and they are very familiar with Cherwell College Oxford and the needs of students who come here.
Excursions
During the year, excursions are organised by the Administration office. We encourage students to participate in such trips, but must point out that this is by invitation of the member of staff leading the group and you will be expected to behave appropriately at all times.
Examination certificates
Examination certificates are issued by the Awarding Bodies several months after the results are published - the College will keep them safely for you until you ask for them. NB: If certificates are lost, the examination boards will not usually issue duplicates, but proof of results can be supplied.
16. Leave
You are allowed to go out locally or further afield or home, provided your parents/guardians have given permission (at least 3days notice) and that there have been no untoward problems during the week regarding behaviour and academic studies and that you can “afford the time”.
Term study times: Dates are on the Student Noticeboard at Frewin Court.
The College observes public holidays, which occur during term time.
17. Your health
Prior to starting at Cherwell College, Oxford you and your parents should complete a medical questionnaire.
As a boarding student at Cherwell College Oxford you need to register with a GP/ doctor (day students may choose to stay registered with their existing doctor). This entitles you to medical attention under the National Health Service during your time at the College.
11
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
In the case of any lengthy or particularly contagious illness the doctor or nurses may feel that it would be best both for you and the College if you were able to rest and recuperate away from college. In that event, having consulted your parents, we will make all the necessary arrangements to get you home or to your guardian (or one arranged by the College) if you cannot travel.
Should you need dental treatment or some other specialist treatment (physiotherapy; for example), the Secretary will assist you to make appointments. We will always consult with parents or guardians before making any appointments of this nature as these treatments are often not covered by the National Health Service. Your parents may well have taken out some medical insurance for you and may wish to deal with dentists and specialists directly. If you have any medical problems or queries, please discuss them with the Secretary.
Always remember to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully. For Health and Safety reasons, it is College policy that you, and your parents, inform us when any medication – either bought over the counter or prescribed by a doctor is brought into the College. You will be required to sign an agreement regarding the self-administration of the medication, which acknowledges that you will adhere to certain rules and regulations whilst the medication is in your possession.
Never accept pills or medications from other students and always keep any medicines or tablets, which the doctor prescribes to you, in a safe place. Do not leave medications on view and please do not keep large quantities of medication in your room.
18. Important rules
Alcohol
Consumption of alcohol on the school premises is forbidden. Students found drinking, or in possession of alcohol may be warned in the first instance, but on repetition may be suspended or expelled.
Appearance
Dress and appearance can be a major source of concern. Although there is no College uniform, we do attach great importance to how you look. You should aim to be presentable and appropriately dressed at all times whilst either at college or back in your accommodation.
Caps and hats may be worn around the campus, but not in classrooms, private study rooms or administration office.
Conduct
You will be expected to act with consideration and respect at all times towards members of staff and fellow students alike. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student whose behaviour, either inside or outside of the College is unsatisfactory.
Drugs
Drug and solvent abuse is a national problem - the College operates a zero-tolerance policy. We will take positive steps to ensure you are not at risk. We reserve the right to use a medical test to establish use and if you are found
12
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College to be using (either on or off the College premises) or possessing illegal (including decriminalised) substances you will be instantly expelled. There are no second chances for offenders. You may be asked, along with all other students, to be tested during the academic year and the cost of the test is charged to your “extras” account. Simply say “No” to any drugs!
Firearms and knives: Firearms, airguns, knives of any description or any other weapons, including replicas, are not allowed on college premises.
Gambling: Gambling for money is not allowed.
Pets: Student’s pets are not allowed on the College premises.
Smoking: Cherwell College Oxford policy, in line with current legislation: smoking is not allowed anywhere within a 50 metre radius of the tutorial buildings or administration office by anyone – staff, students or visitors. Smoking is not allowed in the accommodation areas or places of residence. If you are found breaking the smoking ban a tariff of sanctions will be applied, including informing your parents. Anyone who repeatedly offends will be suspended.
19. If you have a worry or a complaint
At Cherwell College Oxford, we would like everyone to feel part of a safe and happy community. From time to time, you may be worried or upset about something. This policy tells you about various people available to help you, so that you can choose someone you feel you can trust. The experience of students in this and other colleges is that, no matter how bad the problem may seem to be, it is almost always a great help to talk about it. You can talk to any member of staff if you have a concern.
Concerns about your studies
These should be discussed firstly with the tutor concerned or the Director of Studies and/or Principal.
Concerns about your living conditions
Problems relating to your accommodation or any question about the food are best discussed with the Welfare Officer or Residential tutor.
Concerns about bullying
Bullying can take various direct and indirect forms, but most bullying incidents will have three things in common: it is deliberately hurtful behaviour; it is repeated over a period of time; it is difficult for those being bullied to defend themselves. If you are being bullied and you find it difficult to tell a tutor or the Welfare Officer tell your friends and enlist their help. They can discreetly alert a member of staff on your behalf. It is essential that an adult is told. The College has an anti-bullying policy which can be found on the College’s website. Do be assured, any student who is found to be bullying is liable to be asked to leave the College.
Other personal problems
13
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College
If you have problems, whatever they are, your Welfare Officer, Resident Warden Tutors, Secretary, Director of studies, the Administrative office, the Principal may be able to help with useful advice. They are all good listeners and will be able to point you in the direction of specialist advice if needed.
Child line - the free national helpline for young people, provides a telephone counselling service 24 hours a day every day. The number (free phone) is 0800 1111.
Remember – there are lots of people who may be able to help:
Tutors; Welfare Officer; Residential tutor; Principal; Vice Principal; Secretary; Administrative Office.
Ofsted Contact Centre: Tel: 0300 123 1231
If you have a problem, don’t worry, don’t panic – but do something! Seek help Who else needs to know?
The College understands that you may wish to talk about a problem only if it is kept secret. In many cases, this is possible, but there are two exceptions you should be aware of: The Principal is required to make sure he is aware of all issues affecting the safety and welfare of students at the College. This means that the Principal will need to be kept informed by College staff of the broad nature (but not usually the details) of any serious health, safety or welfare issue of which they are aware. If your problem or complaint involves the Principal, then Social Services will be informed instead.
The College has a legal duty to keep parents/guardians informed about your welfare and progress. However, if you do not wish them to be informed, please inform the Welfare Officer so that options can be discussed with you.
However, please do not let this stop you from raising complaints or saying when you are worried or upset. Most young people who speak up, say afterwards that it helped them enormously and that the problem did not seem quite as bad once they had a chance to talk it through with someone experienced and helpful.
Making a formal complaint
If you feel that you have not been able to sort out a complaint on an informal basis you have the right to make a formal complaint. You may wish to involve your parents at this stage if you have not already done so. You or your parents should write to the Principal setting out the complaint and what you wish to be done about it. The Principal may suggest a meeting to discuss the complaint but will in any case give you a written answer explaining what they has decided to do about the complaint. You will not get into trouble for making a complaint if you believe that you have a good reason for doing so.
The Principal will keep a record of serious complaints from students and what happened to those complaints and will review them from time to time.
Your parents can also use the College's formal complaints procedure which is available on the College's website.

20. Parents’ section
Whenever a student changes a school or college it is inevitable that the parents and guardians receive a pile of paperwork. For your benefit, we have selected those points, which we regard as most relevant and included in this section the information that we are legally obliged to provide parents and guardians with. Please take note of the following:
1. Cash/taxis
Please ensure that students have access to cash either through a bank account or an account held at the College. Students will be provided with contact details of reputable taxi companies.
2. Insurance of students’ belongings Please ensure that an appropriate insurance policy is in place.
3. Telephones Most students have their own mobile phones. We would ask, however, that you observe “mobile phone etiquette” and do not contact your son or daughter at inappropriate times (i.e. during lessons or prep times).
E-mail: Wi-Fi facilities are available on campus.
4. Important rules We feel particularly strong over the issue of drugs, stealing and bullying. We are committed to a policy of “zero tolerance” and to keeping Cherwell College Oxford a safe and drug-free community. Our policy about drugs is clearly stated and we will not under any circumstances negotiate or compromise our objective. Likewise, we will not tolerate bullying or stealing and will ask students who do not comply to leave the College.
5. Extras on the account Every term a minimum deposit will be charged in advance to cover the cost of extras such as stationery, text books, medicines, activities, exam fees, etc. Reconciliation is made at the end of each term and a summary of expenses is sent with the following term’s account. A detailed statement is available on request.
6. Guardianship If your child is joining from overseas and you have not been able to appoint a relative or close family friend as guardians, then we suggest you contact us. Please be aware that any guardian must be checked by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB).
7. Conditions of acceptance In keeping with other independent schools and colleges, we have introduced College’s terms and conditions of acceptance. The associated Terms and Conditions are available on request and are published in full on the College’s website. 9. Academic Progression Having enrolled at Cherwell College Oxford students will normally progress without too many problems. However, in a limited number of cases it may be necessary to review the progress and a final decision about whether they
15
Cherwell College Oxford
Pre-University Tutorial College may progress to the next academic year may well depend on their performance in the mock examinations and whether they are deemed to be working hard enough to benefit from continuing. The Director of Studies or the Vice Principal will let you know of their concerns and you may wish to come in and discuss the situation in more detail.
10. Medical matters It is a Health & Safety requirement that the Welfare Officer is aware of any medication in a student’s possession (whether purchased over the counter or prescribed by their doctor). It is a requirement that you keep the College fully informed at all times in this respect, especially following College holidays.
