School Day

 

A typical school day at Winterbourne Boys’ Academy

At the beginning of the school day the playground is supervised from 8.40 am. Boys are admitted into the building at 8.50 am for a prompt registration and assembly.

Please ensure that your child arrives on time in full school uniform. Late pupils cause disruption to pupils' learning. Both lateness and absence are monitored daily.
