School Day

At Great Torrington School, pupils are expected to be on-site from 8.40am to 3.15 pm, Monday to Friday.

This means, in a typical week, pupils attend school for 32 hours and 30 minutes.

This does not include any extra curricular activities that a pupil may choose to participate in.

School is available for pupils to access from 8.25am and closes by 5pm, due to after-school clubs.
