The School Day

The official part of the school day starts with morning registration at 08.35 am and ends at 15.00 pm.

These times include breaks but not optional before or after school activities. The School gates open at 8am which is the earliest time a student will be able to enter the school. After school clubs will usually finish at 4.30 although sporting fixtures may end later.

The total time this amounts to in a typical week is 32.5 hours. 

The Beacon School runs a two-week timetable of lessons rotating each fortnight. The weeks are divided into Week 1 and Week 2 and these are laid out on students' timetables and the Whole School Calendar.
