The School Day

 
Mornings
The school is open to receive pupils between the hours of 8.00am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday. We can only take responsibility for pupils between these hours. By arrangement with a member of staff activities can take place outside these hours.
 
There are six periods from 9.10 am to 1.00 pm, with a 20 minute break. Registration takes place at 8.45 am. On Mondays and Fridays there are school assemblies from 8.50 am to 9.10 am; on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8.50 am pupils have tutor time and on Wednesdays a Year section or House assembly.
 
Lunch
Lunch is provided from 1.00 pm to 1.50 pm either in the dining room or coffee shop. The former provides a set meal, the latter allows pupils to buy snacks or sandwiches. Pupils are provided with a lunch card, which debits them electronically, so cash need not be required. Alternatively, pupils are welcome to bring their own packed lunches. Sixth Form pupils are allowed to leave the site to buy their own lunch, but only by arrangement with the Head of Sixth Form.
 
Afternoons
After lunch there is registration at 1.50 pm followed by three periods from 2.00 pm to 3.45 pm. After school (and at lunchtime) a variety of extra- curricular activities are on offer. At the end of the school day after a break of fifteen minutes, it is expected that pupils are engaged in an activity, are working on prep or have gone home.
 
Extra-curricular activities will take place from 3.45 pm - 5.00 pm and school buses will leave at 5.15 pm
