The School Day

A typical school day at Queen Katharine Academy consists of six sessions, a tutor time and a lunchtime.  We have split lunches.

Morning registration is taken at 8:45am and the compulsory school day ends at 3:20pm.

In addition to the school day this is an additional hour each day, where a range of optional enrichment activities are offered.
