About

The Serendipity School operates extended opening hours from 8.30am – 2.45pm for all students following a full time offer.

The school day is arranged as follows: For students who are new to the school, or who have been out of mainstream education for a period of time, we offer a transitional timetable with flexible hours to support the individual student back in to formal education.

On Friday afternoons, we run 'STAR Time' for all students who have achieved their personal STAR point target during the week. STAR Time and STAR points are the heart of our behaviour management and academic achievement system whereby students understand the consequences of the choices they make. STAR Time involves activities both on and off site.
