We run a two week timetable, Odd week and Even week, which corresponds with the relevant week number. Start Week 1 = odd, Week 2 = Even. Students are at school for 7 hours per day, with the option to extend this with the many clubs and activities we have on offer.

 

SCHOOL HOURS AND PUNCTUALITY

We expect our students to arrive in school on time at 8.30am (8.25am on a Thursday). If they arrive after 8.35am, they are recorded as ‘late’. If they arrive after 9.15am, they are marked ‘absent’ for at least the morning session. Any students arriving late and they have clearly missed registration must sign in at the School Office. Tutors do have some discretion where lateness is unusual and could not be avoided. Students who have two or more ‘lates’ in one week are automatically placed in an afterschool Head of House detention from 3.30pm–4.30pm. Failure to attend this results in a Leadership detention for one and half hours until 5pm. Failure to attend this detention will result in a two and a half hour Headteacher's Detention. Parents and students are notified of any upcoming detentions through My Child At School.
