The School Day

In line with the government’s guidance, the school has completed a comprehensive risk assessment and will be operating with some important changes to the school day to keep students, staff and the wider community safe:

• We will be operating a timetable with double lessons only. This reduces the 'contacts' each day (staff-students; students-students) and thus the transmission risk. It also reduces movement around the school for staff and students.
• The timetable for Year 13s will look like this:

Year 7, Year 8 & Year 9
Time	Lesson
08:45 – 09:05	Registration, PSHE, Virtual Assembly
09:05 – 10:45	Double Lesson 1
10:45 – 11:05	Break
11:05 – 11:55	Double Lesson 2 (first half)
11:55 – 12:45	Lunch
12:45 – 13:35	Double Lesson 2 (second half)
13:35 – 15:15	Double Lesson 3

 

Year 10, Year 11, Year 12 & 13
Time	Lesson
09:05 – 10:45	Double Lesson 1
10:45 – 11:35	Double Lesson 2 (first half)
11:35 – 11:55	Break
11:55 – 12:45	Double Lesson 2 (second half)
12:45 – 13:35	Lunch
