The Academy Day

The normal school day will begin at 8:30am and will end at 3:05pm. A bell signals the start and end of registration and lesson periods. A warning bell will ring at 8.25am to give students time to make their way to their tutor bases for morning registration. The security gates at both entrances to the school will lock at 8.30am; please ensure that your child has enough time to travel to school.

Once the gates are closed, children arriving late will need to access the school via the visitor reception, where they will sign-in with the attendance officer.

If children need to leave during the day, they should sign-out the visitor reception at E block and then exit the school site.  Parents collecting children should park in the visitor car park and inform the receptionist of who is being collected.  At the end of the day, the visitor car park gate will close at 2:55pm and re-open at 3.10pm to ensure the safety of pupils leaving the school site.

At lunch, a warning bell will ring at 12.55pm to give students time to make their way to their class for afternoon registration.

The timings for the school day are as follows:

Monday to Friday

The rationale for changing the timings of the school day is to support students and teachers in their work:

  • To ensure our curriculum responds to student needs – more PSHE time to support changing needs in society
  • To maintain a broad and balanced curriculum
  • To improve focus on learning and reduce cognition
