Uniform
Our uniform is designed to make life straightforward for our pupils and to allow them to work easily and safely so that they can make learning their priority. We know that a high standard of uniform has a positive impact on behaviour in school and on making a calm, purposeful working environment for all pupils. When pupils are dressed in the correct school uniform, they are positive role models for their peers and present a positive and impressive image of the school in the local community. Our uniform is important to us and we know that it gives a sense of pride and belonging within the school community. We are keen to instil this in our pupils.

The School Day
The morning session for pupils will start at 8.35am. Pupils are expected to be in school by 8.30am so that they can arrive at registration on time.
Please note: the official end of the school day is at 2.45pm. This allows staff to call back any pupil in need of additional support or guidance for up to 15 minutes without notifying parents in advance. We have nominally defined the time after 3.00pm as 'Period 6'; this exists for clubs, sporting activities, GCSE revision etc. as provision allows. We encourage students to participate in after school ('Period 6') activities wherever possible; some students may be directed to 'Period 6' revision or intervention, if required.

Pupil Premium
The pupil premium is the title given by the government to additional funding for schools. It is to be used to provide resources or support for each pupil who currently receives Free School Meals or who has done so in the past six years. Funding is also allocated to support pupils who are in the care of the local authority or who have been adopted from care. Click on the links below which will explain how we use these additional funds.

Catering
Breaktime and Lunchtime catering is provided by Caterlink. Pupils can choose from a large range of snacks, main meals, sandwiches, fruit and drinks.
From Monday 7th October 2019 we will be using a biometric cashless catering system. Pupils will be able to purchase food using their thumb, and parents will be able to view their transactions, balance, and top up online using our school gateway app.
