A typical week at St Andrews is 32 hours and 5 minutes, term time only. This is under review to meet 32.5 hours by September 2024.

At lunchtime, the children eat hot/cold dinners in the main hall or packed lunches in the South block hall. The children have different sittings for each year group.

The lesson structure varies between classes; staff are free to design their own timetable based on what will be the most effective learning journey for the pupils. This freedom ensures that the children’s learning needs are considered in every step of the lesson planning process.

Staff have their Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time on either a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday with cover provided by a French Specialist and other staff.
