THE SCHOOL DAY

All pupils are transported to and from school by taxi paid for by the Local Education Authority.

The School Day starts at 8.45 a.m.  Pupils are met at the ‘taxi point’ and registered as present by our pupil support staff, then go to their tutor room.

Breakfast is available in the Dining Room for any pupil from 8.45 a.m. – 9.15 a.m.  There is usually a selection of cereals and milk.

Assemblies take place daily at 9.00 a.m. – 9.15 a.m.

Monday           -           Whole school Assembly in the Dining Room/Key Stage Assembly

Tuesday           -           In class Assembly/School Council Meetings

Wednesday      -           Key Stage Assembly

Thursday          -           In class Assembly

Lessons begin at 9.15 a.m.

As far as possible, children are in the same National Curriculum Year Group as they would be in a mainstream school.

Classes are small.  On average there are 6 pupils in each class.  The pupils are taught by experienced, well qualified teachers and supported by teaching assistants.
