At Burton Borough School, we aim to create a calm, structured, and welcoming start to every day. A consistent routine supports positive habits, punctuality, and readiness to learn.

Start of the Day

• Student Arrival Window: 8:35am – 8:45am
  Students are expected to arrive on-site between these times.
• Morning Welcome: 8:45am – 8:50am
  A short welcome session to prepare students for the day ahead.
• Form Time: 8:50am – 9:15am
  Daily form time includes attendance, key notices, pastoral activities, and the opportunity to check in with tutors.

The main student gate closes at 8:45am.
Students arriving after this time must enter through the late door and will be marked as late in the register.

Expectations Around Punctuality

We expect all students to:

• Arrive between 8:35am and 8:45am
• Be fully equipped and ready to start the day
• Be punctual and responsible for managing their time

If a student is late due to exceptional circumstances outside of their control, this should be reported to the Attendance Team as soon as possible.

End of the Day

• School ends at 3:10pm
• After-school activities, clubs, and interventions run from 3:15pm onwards

These sessions provide valuable opportunities for academic support, skill development, and enrichment.

Daily Timetable

Burton Borough follows a 5-period day, with split breaks and lunchtimes for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, on a two-week rotation.

This approach ensures smooth movement around the school and an age-appropriate experience during social times.
