The school day is 6.5 hours long, five lessons and 30 minutes tutor time. We have a weekly total of 32.5 hours of time in school for all students.
School Uniform
All students are expected to conform to the code of dress. If students are not in full school uniform, we would ask parents to provide a letter and students will be issued with a non-uniform card for a short period until the uniform issue can be resolved. Those students who arrive at school not in full uniform will face a sanction if they have not brought a note from their parent/carer. This will be logged on Classcharts. On some occasions, we might contact you to bring in the correct uniform, or to seek permission to send the student home for a short period to retrieve the correct uniform.
Uniform requirements for students in Years 7-11 are as follows :
Blazer
Navy blue with school badge. Students should wear their blazers at all times: when walking around the school and during lessons. Students will be reminded of this as part of our Positive Learning Routines at the start of each lesson. Students may take their blazer off during the lesson at the teacher’s discretion. |

Students may wear long, tailored, plain trousers in dark grey, black or navy. Cord, cotton or denim trousers are not permitted. Leggings or skinny-style trousers are also forbidden. Students may also wear the same equivalent in shorts. |
