The School Day

Central to delivering our enhanced curriculum is the need for more contact time with our students, which is why Houstone operates an extended school day consisting of over six hours contact time with teachers. 

A longer school day allows us to teach more to our pupils and improves access to education beyond the core curriculum, ensuring that all pupils participate in our full range of opportunities. 

We realise that when optional after-school activities are organised in traditional schools, barriers such as extra fees or transport difficulties mean that there are some students who will not get the chance to take part. By providing this enhanced curriculum as a compulsory part of the school day, we can be sure that all students enrolled at Houstone will benefit. 

Timetable

The School teach students from 8.30am to 4:00pm with facilities available from 8.00am to 5.00pm as part of our enhanced curriculum. 

A longer school day allows us to offer the extra learning opportunities that will lead our students to excellence, as well as providing parents with a better fit between their children’s school-life and work or other commitments.
