School Day
Under the revised timetable, the school day now starts at 8:35 am, and finishes at 3:00 pm, with five 1-hour lessons, a 15-minute break between first and second lessons, and a 40-minute dinner break between third and fourth lessons. Each year group has 6 tutor groups (with the exception being the lower years, with more tutor groups being added as the number of students increased), Q, U, A, R, Y and d. In years 7, 8, and 9, these years classes are split into two "halves". One "half" contains Q, U and A, while R, Y and D are in the other "half". Each half has their classes together, but split into ability groups for various subjects. For years 10 and 11, the "halves" are joined for their GCSE's.
