Proposed Changes to the Length of the School Week

We would like to make you aware of changes that are being proposed to the length of the school week. This follows a new Government policy that expects all mainstream state-funded schools to work towards a minimum school week length of 32.5 hours.

In order to meet the expected 32.5 hours, we are proposing to increase the length of each school day by 5 minutes.  This would result in a revised start time for Years One to Six of 8.50am.  The end of the school day remains unchanged with a finish time of 3.20pm

There are no proposed changes to the start/finish times for children in Nursery and Reception.

We propose to implement the revised start time from Tuesday 3rd September 2024.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the proposed changes, please contact the school by emailing admin.kpps@smartacademies.net using ‘Changes to the School Day’ as the subject title, by midday on Friday 19th July 2024.
