Easter Revision Courses Terms & Conditions

The Easter Revision Courses aim to provide a stimulating working environment for healthy examination preparation. To achieve this, and for the welfare of all pupils and staff, the following guidelines have been kept to an absolute minimum and will be strictly adhered to:

Full balance of your application is required upon booking, we shall be in contact for this upon receipt of your application
If for any reason you need to cancel your booking, we will offer for a 50% refund
If we need to cancel a course for any reason, you will be offered a 100% refund of fees paid.
Late applications will be considered only if there are unfilled places on the course
We reserve the right to cancel any course if under-subscribed. In such circumstances, the student may elect to study an alternative course (if places are available) or obtain a full refund of fees paid. We will always attempt to do this with as much notice as possible. Under no other circumstances whatsoever will fees be refunded
You undertake to: (i) confirm (or update, if necessary), when requested, such information (and/or documentary materials) about (or relating to) you and/or your child that is held by the College; and (ii) in any event, inform the College of any change to you or your child’s circumstances (including, where applicable, in connection with your child’s entitlement to enter, reside and/or study in the United Kingdom), or to information about (or relating to) you or your child that has previously been notified to the College, including relevant contact details. In order to comply with our responsibilities as a licensed sponsor under Tier 4 of the Home Office’s points-based system, you consent to us notifying and/or supplying information relating to you and/or your child’s right to enter, reside and/or study in the United Kingdom, and /or information about any absences or exclusions of your child to the United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) unit of the Home Office (and to do so notwithstanding whether we actually sponsor your child or not). This may include the provision of information required for the travel arrangements for pupils whilst on exeats, half-terms and holidays away from the College.
We will, where possible, inform all parents & students regarding the timetabling of the various subjects, at least 2 weeks prior to the courses beginning. This process is a delicate balancing act of accommodating as many student choices as possible, and as such we like to make sure we have all information 100% correct
We make every effort to match tuition with individual needs, but students must realise that a revision course, however intensive, cannot be expected to cover all aspects of all specifications. Some courses are not designed to be board-specific; these courses aim to cover core material only for that subject
Clifton College shall not be liable for loss or damage to personal property or injury to persons however caused, other than that where negligence on the part of Clifton College is proved
Drugs and alcoholic beverages may not be brought onto or consumed within the boarding houses or any other part of the College campus. Failure to abide by this rule will result in immediate withdrawal
Clifton College has a no smoking policy throughout its entire buildings and grounds
Clifton College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of a student for any behaviour which might be considered detrimental to the smooth running of the course, or which might interfere with the studies of other students. Any refund of fees will be at the sole discretion of the Course Director
Parents or guardians will accept full liability for any damage to property caused by malice or neglect
The Clifton College Medical Centre will be closed for the duration of the course, but our nursing staff will be on call for all emergencies 24 hours a day. We ask for full medical details on our application form, including current medication and any issues the medical staff should know about. By signing the ‘Parental Approval’ section on the application form, you consent to the student receiving any medical care required during their stay at the College, whether from our medical staff, the local doctors or hospital. You shall of course be informed immediately should this need arise
Any student who needs to leave the College campus at any time for any reason during the course must obtain permission from the Course Director. For residential students, permission must be obtained from the House Staff
No residential student may be out of the Boarding House after the evening registration
No students may invite guests onto the College site at any time during the course. Please make it clear to your son or daughter that we do not welcome visits from friends who are not on the course – we are then faced with the introduction of cars and people about whom we know nothing
It is very helpful to the college to be able to use student photographs or names for marketing purposes. Any student or parent who wishes to withhold permission should contact the college in writing
If your son or daughter is to be a resident on the course, it would be helpful if they were dropped off by you at the start of the course so that they do not have access to a car. If that is not possible, and your son/daughter’s car is to remain at Clifton College for the duration of the course, we require that the keys are handed in to the pupil’s Housemaster/mistress, and that the car is only used with specific permission
Under no circumstances will a car be allowed to be used to visit a location outside Clifton after evening lessons
If it is necessary for your son/daughter to commute to school as a day pupil, the car may be parked in any of the adjoining roads to the College. The car must remain parked for the day and must not to be used to shuttle back and forth around the College
