Approach to the Curriculum

The school has a two-week 50 period timetable. Our school day starts at 8.40am, with a 20 minute Tutor Period, and finishes at 3.10pm. Students have a 20 minute break in the morning and a 40 minute lunch break. We build 5 minutes moving time in between our period 1 and period 2 lessons, as well as our period 3 and period 4 lessons, to ensure our students are given sufficient time to move across the school site. In both KS3 and KS4, students are taught 5 x 60 minute lessons a day. In addition, the school offers a wide variety of enrichment opportunities after school to all of our students. These operate from 3.10pm to 4.10pm throughout the week.
