The School Day

Anchor for Skip to main content accessible link

Our school day starts with transition time, to support learners coming into school and help them be ready for learning.

The school day is split into five sessions – 3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon – with breaks in between.  We have found that more, but shorter sessions are better suited to our learners’ needs.

At lunch time, learners have a choice of meals, freshly cooked on site by our team.  We accommodate special diets and make every effort to meet the specific preferences of individual learners at mealtimes.  Our team know how each learner likes their food – with or without sauce, items not touching etc!

At the end of the day, time is given for reflection.  We use this time to review with learners how their day has gone, give time for a favoured activity etc; the format for this can vary depending on the needs of the learner.

The day finishes with transition time, to help learners be ready for home time.
