Staggering Arrival Times

Following the publication of the DfE’s Guidance for Full Opening on 2 July 2020 (updated 7 August 2020), it is our plan that all students, in all year groups, we have put in place staggering arrival and alternative start and finish times for the year groups. There is alternative ways where each year group will enter the school to minimise the contact between them and created ‘whole year group bubbles’ as per government guidance.

Students will be expected to arrive at the following times and use the following entrances:

Year 7, 8, 12 & 13

Arrival Start Time: 8:30am

Year 7: Main Entrance

Year 8: Bromfords Drive

Year 12&13: via staff car park

Year 9, 10 & 11

Arrival Start Time: 8:55am

Year 9: Main Entrance

Year 10: Bromfords Drive

Year 11: via staff car park

Lesson Times

We are retaining our 5-period day with 55-minute lessons, the reduction from 60 minute lessons allows for movement time. Movement time has been introduced between lesson changeovers to accommodate students moving in whole class bubbles and being delivered and collected from their central gathering points:

Year 7, 8, 12 & 13

Year 9, 10 & 11
