The School Day

At Elthorne Park High School the school day starts for students at 8.40am.  

The compulsory school day ends at 3:10pm for students in Years 7-11, which amounts to 32.5 hours in a typical week.  All year groups will have an assembly in the main hall once a week. Each assembly will focus upon one of our core values or key attributes.

At Elthorne we have a two-week timetable; students’ timetables will be different depending on whether it is Week 1 or Week 2. For this reason it is important that students are aware which week we are in (this is always displayed on the LED screen in the main playground).  Each lesson lasts for 60 minutes. 

Every Thursday during period 2 students have PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education). This lesson is taught by the tutor team.

The Westlea Road gate is open at 8am each morning for those students who wish to have breakfast in the canteen.
