Students are expected to arrive at the academy as normal and register at 8.30am in tutor rooms. All students need to be in full school uniform. Students will leave the academy at 8:45 via coach transport. Students will finish at 2:45pm and be dismissed from John Leggott College, a number of staff will be walking back to The St Lawrence Academy should students wish to be accompanied back. Please arrange lifts from the college if you do not want your child to walk home or back to the academy.
If your child is eligible for free school meals, a packed lunch will be provided. Students will not be able to purchase food from the college, therefore they must bring packed lunch if they do not qualify for free school meals.
