  • The Academy day will start earlier at 8.30am and end earlier at 2.40pm.
  • The Academy will move from a 6 period day (6 periods of 50 minutes) to a 5 period day (5 periods of 60 minutes).  The total time in lessons will remain the same.
  • Tutor time will be reduced to a 10 minute registration/form time.  An additional lesson of PSHE/Citizenship will be timetabled.
  • Lunchtime will reduce from 50 minutes to 40 minutes.
  • An additional period of training/continuing professional development will be in place for all staff on a Monday. 
  • We expect a significant increase in enrichment and intervention between 2.40pm and 4.00pm from Tuesday to Friday. 

* R10 is a sanction where pupils are detained at the end of the Academy day to allow a restorative conversation to take place, following an incidence of poor behaviour. This will not impact the significant majority of pupils who meet Academy standards impeccably.
