The School Day

 

Our school day is longer than many other maintained schools and provides opportunities for pupils and staff to teach and learn in a flexible, unhurried structure. 

 

A 'typical' school day is outlined on the right. This amounts to a total of 35 hours 45 minutes on a typical week.

 

On a weekly basis all pupils participate in a physical education lesson. All year groups also have in a 'Forest School' lesson at the school's own 3 acre forest site and participate in daily acts of worship. 

 

Celebration Assembly takes place on a Friday afternoon, this will be on a class rota basis, Parents and Carers are invited to join us. This can be led by a class as well as a general celebration of learning and achievements.

 

More specific information about the content of our curriculum can be found on the 'School Curriculum Content' page.
