Structure of The School Day and Pupil Management
Each student is supplied with a Personal Organiser. These are hardback books with useful information and plenty of diary space to record homework deadlines, write comments and record "merits". These are given to each pupil for free at the start of each year, but replacements cost £2.00.
The school day in its current form was launched in June 2008. It previously consisted of six 50-minute lessons, and ending the day at 3.20pm
Many extra-curricular clubs are held in the school, Music Department and Library activities.
Only pupils in the final year (Year 11) are allowed to leave the school site at lunchtime (with permission). Other pupils are permitted to leave the site. This permission is reflected in the form of a pass for the rest of the school year. Regular 'blitzes' are held in which senior management check whether the aforementioned passes are valid and genuine.

Famous quotes containing the words structure, school, day, pupil and/or management:
“The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?””
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The school system, custodian of print culture, has no place for the rugged individual. It is, indeed, the homogenizing hopper into which we toss our integral tots for processing.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“He makes a July’s day short as December,
And with his varying childness cures in me
Thoughts that would thick my blood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
