School Day

The School will naturally provide him with a healthy routine and will be as unique and varied as he is. Whatever his interests or abilities may be, he will be encouraged to make the most of every day, balancing his co-curricular endeavours with a deep love of learning. 

Before Ding Dong sounds, calling students to morning Registration, he might have breakfast with friends, play games in the library, or meet with one of the many clubs, teams, and societies running early morning sessions. Or, if he needs some extra help, he may use this time to seek out a subject teacher or attend the learning support sessions that run before and after school. Before lessons, we have a dedicated pastoral time that might include Form activities, House Meetings or Assemblies – either with the rest of his year group or, once a fortnight, altogether with the rest of the Junior Years. All of these will contribute to his personal and social development as he begins to find his place within the Whitgift community. 

When lessons begin, he’ll leave his Form and meet up with a different group, giving him the chance to mix with other boys in his year.

While his lessons will cover a range of subjects, all will challenge him to learn independently, think critically, and to collaborate with others. At Break and Lunch, he’ll have the chance to expend any extra energy, making use of the many structured activities around the School. He’ll also have P.E. and Games every week. After lessons have concluded, he may choose to go home, go to the library to read or study, or go to one of the many co-curricular activities that run after school. 

From Robotics to Wakeboarding, our broad and vibrant Co-curricular programme will give him the chance to explore new interests with students of different ages and backgrounds, enriching his school life and shaping him into a well-rounded, balanced young man.
