- 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.
