Times of the School Day

Our school building is open from 7.00am to 6.00pm.

Our reception team is available by telephone from 8.00am to 4.00pm, Monday to Friday. Outside these hours, our telephone system accepts messages 24 hours a day.

Pupils attend school from 8.50am to 3.30pm. This equates to 33 hours and 20 minutes per week.

During the school day, pupils have a morning break and a lunchtime break, providing opportunities for rest, social interaction, play and wellbeing.

As a specialist school, many pupils travel to and from school using Local Authority commissioned transport. To support safe and efficient transport arrangements, arrival and departure times are staggered. As a result, the average time pupils spend in school is approximately 31 hours and 15 minutes per week.

Eligibility for home-to-school transport is determined by the pupil's home Local Authority. Please note that Rosehill School does not assess eligibility for transport, arrange transport, allocate escorts or drivers, or make decisions about transport routes, pick-up or drop-off times. These arrangements are the responsibility of the Local Authority in which the pupil lives and any queries or requests about transport should be directed to them.

If you have any questions about the school day, please contact the school office on 0115 915 5815.
