All residential weekends will take place at High Leigh Conference Centre, EN11 8SG. The nearest train station is Broxbourne and there is a regular service from London Liverpool Street, which also connects with the Underground Victoria Line at Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale. There is plenty of parking at the centre, too.
The Residential week will take place at The Hayes Conference Centre, DE55 1AU. The nearest train stations are Alfreton or Derby and there is plenty of parking at the centre, too.
The November residential weekend will take place online.
You will receive an email roughly two weeks prior to the residential taking place with all the details of the weekend. Generally speaking, a residential weekend will begin at 5pm, with arrivals from 3.30pm and finish by 1pm. For new students there will be an introduction to residentials at the September weekend at 4.15pm. The residential week has arrivals from 3pm, with the programme beginning at 3.45pm, and finishes at 1.45pm.
Residentials take place with Ordinands from across all centres, with students sharing rooms with another student- normally from within your centre/formation group.
Our Elizabeth stream students also join us for some of the residentials. First year Elizabeth students will attend the September and June residential weekends. Second year Elizabeth students will attend the September, January and June residential weekends, as well as the Residential week.
You will have a desk or table to sit at in all of your lectures, so it’s up to you if you would like to bring a laptop or pen & paper for note taking, or just listen!
Ordinand retreats will be taking place the weekend of 9th-11th April 2027. We will send out a retreat booklet which has details of all the different retreat options for you to attend around December 2026. You will fill in a form to indicate your preferences and these will be allocated with the aim that no one receives below their 3rd choice. The retreat options offer a range of styles of worship & retreat, at centres in various locations around the country and with different people leading at each.
Please note: only first year Ordinands attend retreats.
Yes, we have points in all our teaching rooms for your computers and mobile devices should you need to charge them. If you're bringing a computer or tablet to take notes in lectures, please try and make sure it's fully charged before you arrive at college.
Please let your centre coordinator know if you have a dietary requirement or allergy that we should be made aware of. There will be different points where you will be asked for these again e.g. when attending a residential, retreat or other event. Please don’t assume we already know!
Your formation tutor is the best person to speak to about your pathway. You should be able to find information about your pathway on Moodle in the programmes section of the handbook.
If you have non-academic questions about your pathway such as, “what modules I am doing this year?” you can email Narges Bagherabadi, but for any academic-related questions, please speak to your formation tutor.
Assignments are handed in online via Turnitin which you can access on Moodle. There is a video available here with instructions on how to do this, as well as drop-in sessions where you can find out more information.
If you’re ever in doubt, please email Narges Bagherabadi
For any Moodle-related problems, please email Narges Bagherabadi
