The School Day

Our school operates a timetable of 25 one-hour lessons per week and students are issued with individual timetables in September.  You will receive notification of the first day’s lessons by email before the start of term.   

A feature of our timetable is the Enrichment Days which take place regularly throughout the year.  On these days the normal timetable is collapsed and activities such as school trips, cross-curricular projects and activities and house enrichment take place. 

The image below shows a typical year 7 timetable.

   

Days run down the side of the timetable covering both week 1 and week 2.  The first week in September is always week 1, after this the weeks alternate between week 1 and week 2.  

Lessons run across the top of the timetable: periods are numbered 1-5 and morning and afternoon registration are also shown.   

Each block contains a 2 letter code for the subject, a room number to help you find your classroom and a 3 letter code indicating your teacher for this lesson.

 

Our school day begins at 8:30am with registration and the morning session closing at 1:10pm on a Monday and 1:20pm Tuesday – Friday.  Afternoon registration follows lunch and closes at 2:20pm on a Tuesday – Friday.  Monday registration is completed during Period 5 lessons.  The afternoon session begins at 2:20pm and ends at 3:20pm, except on a Monday when it begins at 1:45pm and ends at 2:45pm.

Students arriving at school before 8:30am are to wait in the School Hall until 8:30pm when they can go to form rooms.  IT rooms are available for printing work from 8:20am
