The start time for all students from September 2025 will be 8.30am. The finish time for all students from September 2025 will be 3.00pm everyday.
This is in response to the government’s statutory guidance that all students must be in school for a minimum of 32.5hours per week. We have tried to use the time intelligently to give our students the best opportunities.
We have dedicated time for reading every morning in AM PREP time and afternoon in PM PREP where students follow our guided reading programme, follow our Personal Development curriculum and help retain knowledge they have learnt in their Need-to-Know books. Key messages about our values will also be delivered via Year group assemblies at this time.
Students then access three ninety minute academic sessions through the day. This gives them access to a broad and balanced curriculum.
Our new Year 7 will be having their breaks and lunchtimes on their own this year whilst building expansion work takes place due to the increased PAN (pupil admission numbers) to 240 students in the year group.
Students will still have the opportunity to take part in Enrichment activities but these activities will be voluntary and will run from Monday to Friday across each week.
