Our Academy Day
The academy day starts at 8.50am and finishes at 3.20pm which amounts to 32.5 hours in a typical week.
Students should not be on site before 8.15 am.
The Learning Resource Centre is open from 8.15 am giving you an opportunity to use computers, read & research.
Rivers Café is also open for snacks and drinks from 8.15 am.
Students must arrive on site by 8.45 am and make their way to their mentor room ready for mentor time at 8.50 am.
We run a two-week timetable, Week A and Week B. All students will be provided with a timetable on their first day and their timetable can also be viewed on Go4Schools.
