A School Day

A Typical Day at Cardinham School

This page provides an overview of what a typical school day looks like at Cardinham School. It is intended to give families an understanding of the structure, routines and learning experiences children can expect throughout the day.

Please note that this timetable is a guide and should be viewed as a template rather than a fixed schedule. We believe that a responsive curriculum leads to the best outcomes for children, therefore lessons and timings may vary according to the needs of the class, curriculum priorities, special events and enrichment opportunities.

Our teachers carefully adapt learning to meet the needs of individual children and cohorts. This may mean spending additional time on particular areas of learning, responding to children's interests, revisiting key concepts to secure understanding, or providing extra challenge where appropriate.

At Cardinham School, we place children at the heart of our decision-making. While routines provide consistency and security, we recognise the importance of being flexible and responsive to ensure that teaching meets the needs of all learners and enables every child to flourish.

The timetable below therefore represents a typical day, but learning opportunities may change to reflect the needs, interests and progress of the children.

Hillside- Gates open at 8:40pm/ gates close at 8:50pm. School ends at 3:30pm.

Our school is open for 32.5 hours per week
