These are the timings of the school day. Since the pandemic we have introduced slightly different timings for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. The amount of compulsory time pupils spend in school per week is 31.5 hours
Most classes move into different rooms for each lesson. Some classes remain in their own form room unless they are accessing specialist rooms for subjects such as PE, Music or sensory interventions. Other pupils have a combination of lessons in their form room and specialist classrooms.
Some subjects such as technology are delivered over three lessons and others may be a double lesson e.g. PE. Some groups of pupils eat their lunch early in the hall when it is quieter. When large assemblies take place these are either during lesson one or late afternoon. Our departure to the school transport begins at 3.15pm
Your child will have an individual timetable showing where they will be for each subject and the lesson length. If you have any questions about the school day, please contact us
