We have one of our largest ever cohorts starting with us in September 2020. New students are coming from over 12 primary schools across Hampshire, Portsmouth and beyond. This year has been a very different year for transition, due to the closure of many schools over this period of time. I hope you have managed to go to the school website to see our ‘Welcome Films’. There is a general welcome from me, your Head of Year (Mr Shaul) and Miss Grew (one of our Assistant Headteachers). A group of students have also presented a virtual tour of the school for you plus some top tips on being prepared. As a parent myself, I recognise the importance of this decision and I know that transition to secondary school can be a testing time. Your decision now involves building a strong and trusting relationship with the school to secure a profitable five-year stay with us. Your primary school will have been visited by our Transition Team and we will have collected some information about you to help us plan your new curriculum and timetable. You will also have an opportunity to tell us more about yourself when you meet your new Tutor and visit on one of the planned information evenings.

  • Train Passes – Termly Prices & How to Order a College Train Pass 2020/2021
    Train Passes – Termly Prices & How to Order a College Train Pass 2020/2021 South Western Railway are offering full-time HSDC students discounted train passes for the below train stations. In addition to this discount, the College will reduce the cost of the train pass further. The final cost of the train pass is as detailed in the tables below. Your train pass can be used 7 days a week, between the two stations you have requested. Your pass can be used in half terms, but not main holidays. The passes are valid on any Train Operating Company that operates on the route specified on the ticket. The Department of Transport have also launched a railcard for 16-17 year olds. The railcard costs £30 and offers up to 50% off rail fares. HSDC recognise that some train passes will still be cheaper through the College, however, we would still encourage students to investigate the 16-17 railcard scheme before purchasing a college train pass. For more information on the 16-17 railcard scheme, please see: https://www.16-17saver.co.uk/ College Train Passes: If you pay for a train pass by 3rdAugust 2020, we guarantee that we will order your train pass and it will be ready for collection at the start of term. We will still process applications after this date but during this busy period, your train pass may take a few weeks to arrive at college. Please keep checking in the Student Travel & Support Office to see if it has arrived. You are liable to pay your own travel costs until your train pass arrives.

  • 5. Fareham 5.1 About Fareham the Borough of Fareham Is a Coastal
    5. Fareham 5.1 About Fareham The Borough of Fareham is a coastal, mainly urban district lying between the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth. The largest settlements are Fareham town, Portchester, Locks Heath and Stubbington, with a large new development planned at Welborne, north of Fareham town. The district also includes Titchfield Haven, a well-known nature reserve and the point where the River Meon flows out to the Solent. Fareham borders the River Hamble to the west, Winchester district to the north and Gosport to the south and has a short boundary with Portsmouth to the east. The district is unparished. The principal road corridors through Fareham are the east-west M27, the parallel A27 further south and the A32, which runs north to Alton and south to Gosport. Fareham is the sole through-route for commuting into/out of Gosport, which together with high traffic flows along the motorway mean that routes through Fareham can be congested. There are local rail connections to Eastleigh, Southampton, Portsmouth and Brighton. Fareham has strong economic links with Portsmouth and many people who work in Portsmouth live in Fareham. The Solent Enterprise Zone at the former naval airfield HMS Daedalus lies mainly within Fareham. This is a significant commercial development which is expected to bring 3,500 jobs into the borough by 2025. The population of Fareham in 2015 is around 114,000. Development in Fareham in recent times has been spread all over the borough. Stubbington grew substantially after the Second World War but elsewhere in the borough the environmental constraints around Titchfield, the various water boundaries and the nature of the Gosport peninsula have meant that development has been slower than in many other parts of the county.
