The key takeaways are:

  • A short break has been added at lunch – great news for our younger students so they have more time to decompress and ensures they a ready to focus for the rest of the day.
  • Tutor time will now start later in the day at 11:20am, Sixth Form students will be expected to attend their first lesson of the day or tutor time at 11:20am, whichever is earlier.
  • Tutor time remains compulsory regardless of which year group students are in.
  • The end of the school day remains as 5pm.

The new timetable has gone down well with students and we are looking forward to embedding it in September.
