School Day

Our School Day

We run a two-week timetable at Cockermouth School, and the school day consists of six 55-minute periods as follows:

• 08:40 – Registration and Assembly
• 08:55 – Period 1
• 09:50 – Period 2
• 10:45 – Morning Break
• 11:00 – Period 3
• 11:55 – Period 4
• 12:50 – Lunchtime
• 13:40 – Period 5
• 14:35 – Period 6
• 15:30 – End of School

The compulsory school day at Cockermouth School starts at 8:40 and finishes at 15:30. This totals 34 hours and 10 minutes per week, including breaks. Optional after-school activities are available but are not included in this total.

It would be advisable to send your child with a healthy snack to eat during morning break as lunchtime is rather later than at primary school. For further information on lunch, please see our Food in School page.

Each student is provided with a timetable at the beginning of the school year, similar to the sample below. Your child’s timetable is also available on our virtual learning environment, Firefly.
