During break time you must stay in the school or in the school grounds. You can purchase food from Madison’s cafe or the school canteen. Break lasts 15 mins and you also need to use this time to go to the toilets too.
At lunchtime you need to stay in the school or school grounds for the first term. Lunch lasts 50mins. You can bring a packed lunch, buy lunch at Madisons Cafe or the school canteen which offers a range of hot and cold food.
After the October holidays you’ll be allowed to use the shops in the town for lunch, but you must make sure you return to school on time.

There are lots of different clubs at the High School which we would encourage you to take part in and join.
