Changes to lunch arrangements from Monday 12th May 2025

From Monday we will be making some changes to lunch arrangements, to accommodate the start of the GCSEs. These changes impact students in Year 7, Year 11, and one half of Year 9 (9Y). 

Year 11 students will need to swap to the early lunch sitting at 12.15pm so they are able to start their exams on time at 1.30pm each day. They will have lunch at the main site. To accommodate this, we will be moving Year 7 students to the second lunch sitting at 1.15pm. 

Additionally, Year 9 students who currently have lunch at the second sitting, will be moved to the Engineering Centre canteen for the duration of the exams. The table below summarises these changes, which will be in effect from Monday 12th May until Friday 13th June :
