The School Day
Our school day begins at 8.45am each day and finishes at 3.15pm. The day is divided into five periods, plus a morning break and a lunch break.
The total length of each school day is 6 hours 30 minutes, and the total of our core school week is 32 hours 30 minutes.
Punctuality
Students are expected to be in their form rooms at 8.45am. It is important that students arrive to school prior to this time so that they are calm and prepared for the day ahead, ready to learn. Students who are persistently late will receive after-school detentions.
Registration
All students will follow the same registration theme. To maximise on this time, this activity will be planned centrally by SLT and delivered by Form Tutors.
