The School Day

Students can be in school from 8.00am to 5.00pm for lessons, Learning Resource Centre study and community activities.

The school week is organised into 25 one-hour lessons; five one-hour lessons a day. The day also incorporates registration and assembly time, and movement time to ensure lessons are one hour long.

The school is open from 8.00am to 5.00pm everyday for lessons, library work and community activities. Please see the study support timetable for an example of the types and range of activities and clubs that are on offer.

Students should arrive on campus by 8.20am each morning.

Students have two assemblies: one with their year group, and one combined with another year group (double assembly).
