As I am sure you are aware we have been trialling a new structure for the school day which involved moving tutor time to the end of the day and bringing lunch time forward by 20 minutes. The trial period has enabled all staff and students to experience the impact of the changes and has provided an opportunity for informed discussions to take place throughout the school.
As a result of the new structure staff & students well being has been enhanced, there has been a reduction in lateness to school and a much more focussed start to the day. Having tutor time at the end of the day enables staff to deal with any issues on the day they arise which reduces student’s anxiety. We are also able to celebrate the success of students immediately. Assemblies later in the day have enabled us to book outside speakers to talk to groups of students; previously we were unable to do this due to our early start.
Following consultation with staff and students we have decided to adopt this structure in full from September.
Our revised structure is:
|
revised structure is: 8.10

8.15

Please note that the day for students begins at 8.20am, if students are late for school they miss the start of lesson 1 which takes valuable learning time away from them. The internal school gates are closed at 8.15am and after this time students must go into school via the reception entrance and sign it at student services.
If you would like to any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact me either by email via the school website ‘contact us’ facility or ring to discuss.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Louise Johnson
Assistant Headteacher
