Students must be at School by 08:55am, but must not arrive before 08.15am unless they have prior permission.
From September 2026 BWS will be moving to a 5 period day with a 2-week rotation. Consequently, the timings for lessons are:
| Activity | Time |
| Tutor / Assembly / Collective Worship | 09:00 - 09:30 |
| Period 1 | 09:30 - 10:30 |
| Break time | 10:30 - 10:50 |
| Period 2 | 10:50 - 11:50 |
| Change over | 11:50 - 11:55 |
| Period 3 | 11:55 - 12:55 |
| Lunch | 12:55 - 13:45 |
| Period 4 | 13:45 - 14:45 |
| Change over | 14:45 - 14:50 |
| Period 5 | 14:50 - 15:50 |
All students arriving after 09.00am will be signed in by the duty member of staff outside reception. Students arriving after 9:15 will need to buzz at the gate and sign-in at reception.
All students must leave the site by 4pm unless they are being supervised directly by a member of staff.
To achieve the optimal spread of each school day with active lesson delivery (i.e. taking account of bank holiday disruption etc.), each week has been designated as A/B as per the below table. Note highlighted weeks following breaks return on the same week of the last half-term.
