Robertsbridge Community College Provider Access Policy

We welcome visiting professionals to our College to broaden our students learning opportunities and enhance their knowledge of future career options. The policy, available for download below, sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997.
