School day

Key timing information for our school day:

  • Gates open each morning at 8.00am and close at 8.25am.
  • Our day runs from 08:25am to 15:15 
  • This means pupils should be in school for at least 34 hours and 10 minutes per week. This is above the DfE's minimum expectation of 32.5 hours.
