N.B. The school operates a two week timetable.

Contact hours each week for students

The school is open to students between 8.00 and 16.00 every day during term time. Of this, students currently receive 32 hrs and 30 mins of contact time per week. The school operates additional flexible time for extra-curricular activities, interest groups, interventions etc. This is particularly relevant for KS4 students who may receive up to 5 hours per week extra time due to period 4 interventions. KS3 students are strongly encouraged to participate in up to 50 minutes in addition to the taught curriculum each week.
