The School Day

The school has a two-week 50 period timetable. The total time of the school week is 32.5 hours. 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.

School Closure – Friday 9th January

Due to dangerous road conditions in the surrounding area and on the school site, we have taken the decision to move to online learning for students today. The safety of our students, families and staff is our priority. Students will be able to access home learning set by their class teachers via ClassCharts. Please take care, stay safe and keep warm.
