Times of A School Day

Depending on what individual needs, lessons might be broken down into smaller chunks of time. Regardless, all subjects will be covered over the span of the week. A typical day at a Hopespring independent school looks like this:

Please note, Wednesdays remain staff training days where students will not be required to attend Hopespring if they are dual registered. If they are dual registered, their referring school undertakes responsibility for your child’s statutory entitlement to education on Wednesdays. This may involve other tuition and very often will be more vocational in nature, depending on the referring' school’s capacity. If your child is single registered with Hopespring as their primary roll, they will attend Hopespring five days a week.

Lunches

Students are free to go to the local shops to get lunch if permision has been obtained from yourselves as Parent or Carer. Those on Free School Meals are issued with their allocated lunch money. Our children are also welcome to bring their own healthy packed lunches which can be kept in the kitchen. Drinking water is freely availabe at all times to students in classrooms.
