End of the School Day |
The formal school day starts at 8:30am and finishes at 14:55, amounting to 32.5 hours a week. Moorside High School is open to students from 8:00am for breakfast, and most intervention or extracurricular sessions take place until 4:00pm. Timings of the school day may change during exam periods.
Timetables
All students in the school follow a two-week timetable: this means they will have different lessons from Week A to Week B. Each lesson lasts for 60 minutes. It is always useful if a copy of the timetable is kept in a suitable place at home to help in organisation and preparation. It would be helpful if you could check that your child has the correct books and equipment packed for the correct week.
