The School Day

OVERVIEW OF THE SCHOOL DAY

Students are permitted to enter the building from 8am but must remain in the Canteen or 6^th Form Common Room until 8.15am at which point they can access lockers on the upper floors.

We run a staggered breaktime (see timetable below for timings) to ensure crowding and queueing is reduced, this allows all students to spend their breaktime in a calm environment and the option to sit inside or move outdoors.

In addition we run a lunch sitting rota where 3 year groups will have access to lunch first at 1.40pm-2.00pm then the other 3 year groups 2.00pm-2.25pm, these then rotate with our 2 week timetable to allow all students to access lunch first over the 2 weeks.

This ensures that every student can sit in the canteen if they wish to and cuts queuing time down to enable students to maximise their lunchtime. If students are attending a lunch club they may be granted permission to enter the first sitting.
