On a day-to-day basis, the College day runs from 9.00am to 4pm and 3.30pm on Wednesdays. Most of your son/daughter's lessons will consist of three one-hour sessions in the morning and two hour sessions in the afternoon. There are student social and dining areas which are open throughout the day, as well as the library for your use when you do not have lessons.

Lunch-time is usually between 1.15pm and 2.30pm.  This is the time when the social spaces get very busy especially during the winter months. However, there other spaces students can access including the brand new study area. The College also has numerous sporting lunch-time activities to help students stay fit including free Squash, badminton, basketball, Wii Sport, use of the gym and more.

We would expect that students set time aside on a regular basis for homework and recommend they make use of the excellent study support facilities in College in order to complete additional reading or research and generally supplement the work completed in their lessons.

The College Life section and College Gallery also provides a general snapshot of the learning experience at Palmer's College.
