The school day begins at 8:30am. Pupils are expected to be with their form tutor from this time. Any pupil who enters the school past this time will be marked as late.
The start and end of each period is signalled by the school bell. The bell will chime twice between each period with each chime being a couple of minutes apart. There is sufficient time between each time for pupils to leave their lesson and attend their next lesson wherever it may be in the school building. Pupils are expected to be at their next lesson and lined up outside the classroom in an orderly fashion before the second chime.
The school day concludes at 3:35pm.*
