Thank you to all those who responded to the consultation.
The aim of the change is to make things more simple and clear, and to return to the one-hour model of lessons. Therefore from September 2015, the school day will run from 08.30 to 15:00 daily (including Fridays), with a change from a 20 to a 30-minute tutor session each day. There will continue to be a split lunch.

We had only a few comments, mostly based around the length of lunch-time. We have been monitoring the lunch queue closely and working with the Junior Leaders to improve the way in which the lunch queue runs, and have managed to pare down the length of time the students are having to queue. However, we are also clear that a 40-minute lunch allows us to run a better and calmer school day all round, so this will not be changed. Thank you.
