SCHOOL DAY & TRANSPORT
School Day Timings
The normal school day starts at 9.00am on Monday and 8.40am on Tuesday-Friday.
Please ensure your child is punctual. We do not allow students to leave the school site between 8.40am and the end of school at 3.20pm (2:20pm on Friday), and staff ensure that student movement between lessons happens quickly and effectively. We therefore have very few occasions of absence from lessons once a student is on site.
Attendance and punctuality are monitored electronically. Absence from any sessions must be communicated to the school before 8.30am each day and a letter confirming the absence will be required.
We have breakfast available in the Dining Hall before the start of school. Flexible Learning clubs are available from 3.20pm and a wide range of enrichment opportunities are available for all students.

Children travel to Wetherby High School by walking, cycling, car and buses. We have staff at the front of school at the beginning and end of each day to meet and greet students and to ensure the transitions run smoothly.
The school operates 5 buses each day, these are WH6, WH7, WH8, WH9 and WH10. Current bus routes and further information can be found on the Metro website. Please note that these may change each year to meet the needs of the students attending school.
