The School Day

For students in all year groups except Year 11, the school day at KAEP starts at 8:40am and finishes at 3:10pm. Students in Year 11 have compulsory ‘Period 5’ lessons on some days, meaning that on certain days, their school day finishes at at the later time of 4.10pm. 

In Year 11, students have Period 5 lessons on the following days:

Week A: Tues, Weds, Thurs

Week B: Mon, Tues, Weds Thurs

Students in all year groups except Year 11 attend school for 32.5 hours each week. Due to their additional Period 5 lessons, students in Year 11 attend school for an average of 36 hours each week (35.5 hours on a Week A, and 36.5 hours on a Week B.)

Many students choose to stay in school beyond the 3.10 finish time to attend clubs and extra-curricular activities. Clubs and extra curricular activities begin at 3.10 and finish at 4.10 each day.
