The School day starts at 8.45 am. All sessions are multiples of 50 minutes. We run a continuous day with flexible lunch arrangements. The main teaching sessions end at 1:30 pm on Friday. On other days they may end at different times depending on the year group.
Our school year is organised into five terms of eight weeks, with a two-week holiday between terms (four/five weeks in the summer).
