Transport
If you have opted for subjects solely at Blessed William Howard, students must arrange their own transport to and from Sixth Form during the fortnight.
If you are taking a subject at another centre in the Partnership, we are unable to provide transport at the beginning and end of each student’s school day. However, we can provide transport within the school day, either transporting our students from a BWH subject to a Partnership one, or vice versa. This will be arranged for you, but you must contact Mrs Broomhall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q What do I need to bring with me?
A Ensure you have the stationery required for your particular subject, a note pad, academic diary or electronic equivalent. Most importantly, bring your energy, enthusiasm and enquiring minds.

A Yes, also if you have a gap in the school day you can leave site but you will need to sign out at reception.

Dress Code:

Trousers/jeans should be smart/casual, this does not allow rips/holes in jeans;
There should be no offensive slogans on clothing;
Skirts, shorts and tops should be of a suitable length;
Shoes should be of a sensible design.
This dress code applies to all members of the Stafford 14-19 Partnership.
