Changes To The School Day From September 2025

Dear Parents and Carers

Following the recent consultation regarding the new, extended school day model, I am writing to provide you with a specific update for City Fields.

I am pleased to confirm that we are planning to implement the new school day from the beginning of the next academic year, commencing in September 2025. We recognise and share your commitment to fostering well-rounded individuals, equipped with both academic attainment and essential life skills that contribute to their future success. For this reason, we remain committed to delivering a much improved personal development curriculum for all Outwood students. 

Under the new structure, the school day will commence at 8:30 am daily (students should be on site for 8:20 am) and conclude at 3:00 pm.  We will provide you with further details regarding the specific content of our enhanced personal development curriculum and the detailed schedule of the refreshed school day during the summer term, prior to the September implementation. This will allow you ample time to understand the new structure and its implications for your child.

Thank you for your continued support as we work collaboratively to enhance the educational opportunities for all students at City Fields. We are excited about the positive impact this new school day model will have on their learning and development.

Yours faithfully

Michelle Colledge-Smith

Principal
