The school day is structured to 6 hours and 25 minutes, offering an optimal balance of instructional time and breaks. This is designed to foster a focused, productive learning environment while supporting the academic and personal development of each student.

Registration

Attending registration is a legal requirement and it is a parents’ responsibility to ensure students arrive promptly to school to get to their tutor room by 8.40am at the latest.

Each year group also has a weekly assembly during registration time. Assemblies are a time for us to reflect on issues which concern the school, celebrate our achievements and consider how we might improve.

Lessons

Lessons are the most important time of the school day. It is vital for students’ future that they receive the best education possible and attend all lessons. Students are expected to arrive promptly to each lesson, fully equipped and ready to engage with learning.

Movement Around School

We expect students to behave sensibly when moving along corridors and around school. At The Becket School, students should walk calmly, sensibly

Break and Lunchtime

At break time, snacks are available to purchase in the canteen, which is also open at lunchtime to serve food and drinks.  please click here for information on our catering services
