The start time for the academy day, for all students, is 8:40am and it ends at 3:00pm. The academy week is a total of 31 hours and 40 minutes.  

The academy operates a two week timetable, referred to as  'Week 1' and 'Week 2'. Each day has five lessons of subject studies, with a fifteen minute morning break and a 30 minute lunch period. Each lesson lasts for one hour. Subjects are taught in specialist zones across the academy so students move calmly and efficiently between lessons. All students have a 30 minute lesson with a dedicated Chapter leader. 

As part of our transition programme, year 7 students have a separate break and lunchtime to all other students in the academy to help them settle in and feel increasingly confident with their surroundings over time.
