Students are therefore in school for 32.5 hours a week.

Afternoon lessons are followed by revision classes, coursework support, sports, music, drama and other after-school activities. There is also a programme of lunchtime activities.

After School

To do well in examinations, students must work hard both at school and at home. Homework is vital to reinforce the learning that takes place during lessons. Students are expected to complete homework tasks.
