Dear Parents/Carers and Colleagues,
The DfE has instructed all maintained schools to deliver a school week of 32.5 hours to begin from September 2023. Therefore, we will need to increase our school day (as other schools will) by 15 minutes per day to meet this requirement.
Currently, we open the school doors at 8:45am, register closes at 9:00am and the school day ends at 3:15pm.
The options we are considering are:
| Option A
(similar to Mary Webb) |
Option B | |
| School doors open | 8:35am | 8:45am |
| Registration closes | 8:45am | 8:55am |
| School day ends | 3:15pm | 3:25pm |
I would appreciate it if you could complete the short survey in the Forms section of the Weduc App/website to indicate your preference to help inform the decision made.
Please note that Wraparound Club and afterschool clubs will continue to run. We will give plenty of notice of this change ready for September 2023 and all times will remain the same until then.
Many thanks,
Tom Lowrie-Herz (Acting Headteacher)
