Orsett Heath Academy

School Day

The school day will operate slightly differently on Mondays, by having a shorter Enrichment Lesson in addition to the usual 5 lessons.  

 Our full school day is 6 hours and 45 minutes on a Monday and 6 and 1/2 hours Tuesday to Friday.

This equals a total school week of 32 hours and 45 minutes 

From September 2025

We will be making changes to the structure of our school day.

The details around this have been outlined on a parent letter sent home on the 3rd June 2025

Please note, there is no change to the start and end time of the school day, as well as no change to the lengths of breaks and lessons.
