There are a number of reasons our school day is like this:
- Allowing a 5-minute transition between lessons will provide teachers time for learning conversations with students at the end of lesson each as per the new Respect for Learning policy and procedure.
- The transition time between lessons means that time spent learning in the classroom will be a full hour. Currently time is lost at the beginning of each lesson whilst students get to their next lesson and get themselves ready to learn.
- A longer tutor time allows for a richer tutor experience and for topics to be covered in more detail.
- Tutor time at the beginning of the day allows tutors to assess vulnerable students’ needs before lessons start and offer additional support if required.
