The School Day

The normal school day is from 8.45am to 3.30pm. There is no Saturday school, but matches are played in the major sports on Saturdays. The school year runs from the end of August to the end of June, with holidays of about a fortnight at Christmas and Easter.
 
On a daily basis, pupils should:
  • bring the correct books and materials to class
  • keep their homework diaries tidy and up-to-date
  • complete homework and coursework on time
  • observe regulations about uniform and presentation
  • extend at all times the appropriate courtesies to members of staff and visitors
  • respect one another and avoid physical hurt or offence to another pupil
  • respect their own and other people’s property
  • have the self-discipline appropriate for a variety of formal learning environments, (classroom, workshop, lecture theatre, laboratory, sports hall, swimming pool or playing fields)
