UPGRADE & Exams
Year 11 Upgrade currently runs every Tuesday (English), Wednesday (Maths) and Thursday (Science) from 15:10 until 16:10. After Easter each year, Year 11 move to early lunch to prepare them for exam season. This means Year 7 and Year 11 have lunch between 12:30 until 13:10 and Year 8, 9 and 10 have their lunch between 13:30 and 14:10. This is a temporary change taking place annually between Easter and the end of GCSE exams.
