Times & Dates

SCHOOL DAY

We operate a 7 period day where the students have 6 periods of lessons and 1 period of lunch. All of KS3 and KS4 have lunch during period 5; the Sixth Form may have lessons during period 5. We ask all teachers to let the students leave lessons in time to make it to their next lesson for the start time listed below. Please do not let Year 7 to 11 students leave early period 2, 4 or at the end of the day).

On a Monday each week the timings are slightly altered (period 5, 6 and 7) to facilitate the staff development hour that runs from 3.10-4.10pm.
