        Session Times and Term Dates

        Session Times 

        Statutory school session times dictate the following times.
        Reception to Year 1:
        Drop off 8.40 to 8.50
        Pick up 3.20 to 3.30
        Year 2 to Year 6:
        Drop off 8.40 to 8.50
        Pick up 3.25 to 3.30
        Under the terms of the Education Act 1996, the amount of time to be spent per subject cannot be prescribed. However, schools must allow enough taught time to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum that includes all statutory requirements.
        Total annual taught time is based on a 190-day (38-week) school year and on the recommended minimum weekly lesson times set out in Welsh Office Management of the School Day Circular 43/90, which are 21 hours for pupils in years 1 and 2, 23.5 hours for pupils in years 3 to 6 and 25 hours for pupils in years 7 to 11. Schools may provide a longer school day than the minimum if they wish.
