School Day Consultation
Published on 17/06/22
We are proposing to make small changes to our school day from September after the day was changed for a temporary period to facilitate our response to the COVID pandemic. The proposed new school day is:
Time |
Activity |
08.30 |
Arrive at school |
08.35 - 9.00 |
Form time/assembly |
9.00 - 10.00 |
Lesson 1 |
10.00 - 11.00 |
Lesson 2 |
11.00 - 11.10 |
Break |
11.10 - 12.10 |
Lesson 3 |
12.10 - 13.40 |
Lesson 4/Lunch Year 9/11 Lunch: 12.10 - 12.40 Year 7 Lunch: 12.40 - 13.10 Year 8/10 Lunch: 13.10 - 13.40 |
13.40 - 14.40 |
Lesson 5 |
14.40 - 15.25 |
Lesson 6 (Year 11) After school enrichment Years 7 - 10 (optional) |
Key changes to our current school day would be:
- A slightly earlier start by 10 minutes.
- A longer form time, enabling form tutors to work with students on:
- Developing effective revision and self-study skills
- Reading for pleasure
- Developing positive Attitudes to Learning
- The reinstatement of a morning break which was removed in response to the COVID pandemic. This will allow students to have a comfort break during the morning session.
- Lunch would take place later in the day, a change from the very early lunches we currently have in place.
- The school day would end 10 minutes later.
- Lesson 6 for Year 11 students will be 45 minutes long.
