The school day

upper__0000s_0000s_0004s_0000_Upper-_-School-Life

In order to gain maximum curriculum flexibility, the school functions within a ten-day timetable. The two weeks within the ten-day cycle are called Week A and Week B.

New pupils are provided with a copy of their personal timetable and this will specify subjects, teachers and rooms. Tutors explain the workings of the timetable during induction.

The library provides a quiet environment for homework and other study from 8.00am until 5.30pm.
