2. Timings of the School Day.
where learning leads to great opportunities
From September 2013 we would like to change our current day We would welcome your
views on a proposal move to a single lunchtime which will increase our school lunchtime to
50 mins, this would increase the school day by 10 minutes, meaning that we would finish at
3:20 pm.
Rationale
A single lunch would enable us to offer activities, clubs homework groups etc, and
would also mean that there would be less disruption to learning.
The consultation process for the Uniform and School Day
From Friday 24 th May we will begin a 3 week consultation period with parents and
pupils about the changes to the school day, to be introduced and begin in September
2013.
Comments may be submitted in the following ways:
emailing: enquiry@bournville.bham.sch.uk putting uniform in the subject,
writing a clearly labelled letter, (uniform / timings of day consultation), to the
school via the school office.
The deadline for all comments will be 4:00 pm, Friday 14 th June 2013.
KS3 Mentor and GCSE Maths Exams
On Tuesday 11 th June we will be holding a follow up review for all our KS3 students.
This will run on the same lines as the day we had in December. Students and parents
will book a 15 min interview with a teacher. They will not be required to attend school
that day other than for that interview.
Re-arrangement to the timetable in June
We are always looking to maximise our students’ achievement. There is opportunity
in the summer term to use the absence of exam classes to tweak our timetable and
provide an even better learning experience.
There will be exams in some Y10 subjects in the week beginning 17 th June. There
will also be field trips for Geography and History at the end of that weeks
For the 2 weeks starting on 24 th June we will rearrange the timetable. We have had a
major push on English and Maths recently, getting many of Year 10 to sit these
