The School Day

    Home / School Life / The School Day

    The school is open to students from 8 am with registration at 8.25 am – 8.45 am. Students should go to their form room to register and receive important notices before moving to P1 at 8.45 am. Students should arrive in school at least 5 minutes before 8.25 am to ensure they arrive on time for morning registration. Registration is compulsory for all year groups including Sixth Form.

    Students will have 4 days when they finish at 2.45 pm and one day at 3.35 pm. Extracurricular activities such as homework clubs, interventions, pre-teaching, and sports activities will take place on other days from 2.45 pm or 3.35 pm. Finishing times vary depending on the activity and will be advised by the relevant member of staff.  A typical week comprises 32.5 hours.

    From September 2023 we will be introducing a 2-week timetable. This means we will operate a Week A and Week B system.
