Differences compared to 2021 -
- Each school day will start with a 10 minute care group from 8:50 to 9am
- There will also be one "care group" lesson per week which will replace 2021s "mentor" lesson
- The school day will end at 3:15pm (after 6 lessons)except for Wednesdays when it will end at 2:25pm (after 5 lessons)
- The Wednesday early finish helps support staff to engage in extended meetings and professional development
- There will no longer be "extended learning" before or after school

2021 Timetable

The timetable at PIC is slightly different for 2021. These changes have been brought about by the needs of our curriculum and to accommodate exciting new learning initiatives such as Strive for Success (SfS) and PIC+. It was also important to realign the timetables across sub-schools to create continuity.

• Extended Learning is a time before and after school when the Senior Centre is open for senior students.
