Times of the School Day

Updated School Day (from September 2026)
The timings below will come into effect from the start of the 2026–2027 academic year and will replace previous school day arrangements.

At our school, the school day is carefully structured to support effective learning, student wellbeing, and a balanced routine. Each day is organised into a series of lessons, breaks, and enrichment opportunities designed to ensure students remain focused, engaged, and able to achieve their best.

The timetable is consistent throughout the week, supporting the development of strong habits of organisation and punctuality. Lessons are delivered across a broad curriculum, with regular breaks to allow students time to rest, socialise, and recharge. The school also provides dedicated time for pastoral support, reading, and personal development.

This structure ensures a calm and purposeful environment in which high-quality teaching and learning can take place, and where students are supported to make academic and personal progress.

Key to timetable abbreviations: R2L – Ready to Learn (detention) | R2S – Ready to Socialise (detention)

Students arriving after 8.35am will be recorded as late.

Any variation to the published timetable will be communicated to parents and carers either directly or via the school newsletter or website.

The school operates a two-week timetable cycle (Week A and Week B). The standard school week comprises 32 hours 10 minutes of total school time, ensuring curriculum breadth and balance across all subject areas.
