School Day

Key changes were made to the School Week in 2022/23 to ensure school is open for 32.5 hours each week.

Please see new start and end of the day times and arrangements below.

Thank you.

On March 28th 2022, the Government published a paper called Education White Paper: Opportunity for All – Strong Schools with Great teachers for your child. Amongst other things, the paper outlines an expectation that the school week is at least 32.5 hours long.

Governors and school leaders have discussed this and from September 2022, our school day changed to:
