The School Day

Students are able to access school from 8.15am. Our school day begins at 8.45am promptly with a movement bell sounding at 8.45am and is divided into five teaching periods except on Tuesday when the school day finishes after period 4 (14.15pm). There is a five minute allowance for movement following our one-way system and preparation between lessons, so that teaching can begin promptly. The  school bell rings to indicate each section of the day as follows:
