REGISTRATION
Mornings begin with a short registration period of five minutes which begins at 8.55am. During this time you will be with the same teacher every day. We call this teacher a Registration Group Tutor. He or she will note if you are absent and will collect an absence note from you when you return to school. Your Registration Tutor will explain to you how to use your homework diary and how to plan your homework.

MORNING ASSEMBLY
Some mornings begin in the Auditorium (that is the name we give to the large hall beside the school office). The whole school comes together in this hall and the Rector gives them a short talk. He gives the pupils news of school events and important information. Sometimes he will mention a group of pupils who have done something to help the school or community; sometimes it is quite the opposite - he mentions a group of pupils who must improve themselves in some way;   sometimes one of the team of school chaplains will give a short talk as part of the school's religious observance. Most assemblies last about ten or fifteen minutes and are followed by Registration.

INTERVALS AND LUNCH HOUR
Since we have a very large number of pupils in this school lunch queues can be very long. To shorten the waiting time first and second year pupils go for lunch at 12.45 and all other pupils go at 12.50 - More information on lunchtime / school meals etc - Click Here
