Lessons are usually 40 minutes in length.
Generally, art, design & technology and the sciences are taught in double lessons to allow for the practical work involved. Lunchtime on Thursday is lengthened to allow additional time for music rehearsals and sports practices, although practices and rehearsals do also take place at many other times during the week. Normal timetable is suspended each Friday afternoon, when a diverse range of activities take place.

Please note pupils may arrive at school from 7.30am. They may go to the library or to their form room until registration begins at 8.54am. Members of teaching, support and facilities staff will be on site to oversee. Breakfast is served in the Dining Hall from 7.45am until 8.35am. Once on site, pupils are not permitted to leave.
At the end of each day, pupils may attend supervised study in the library or a staff-led co-curricular activity. They should not be present and unattended on site. Therefore, pupils should ensure that they have all the belongings they require from their form room before 4.10pm (Monday – Thursday) and 3.30pm on a Friday to either leave for home or attend a designated after school activity.
All pupils must leave site by 6pm (Monday – Thursday) and by 5pm on Friday unless they are in a supervised activity which runs beyond these times.
