Richie Guides You Through a Typical Day at CHS
From morning assembly to the final bell, Richie explains a typical day from him at CHS – including his extra-curricular activities.
Example Timetables
Below are example timetables for each school.
There is a 10-minute break after each lesson to enable students to comfortably get ready for their next class, absorb the lesson content, follow up with some research or organise their notes.
Please note that these are just examples, and may not match your final timetable. This is dependent on which subjects you choose.

A typical Lower School timetable has a broad range of 15 subjects including 4 English and 4 Maths lessons per week. Each student is also allocated a weekly success coach session to support them in every aspect of their learning journey. There is also plenty of room for students to attend extra-curricular and co-curricular clubs.
A typical IGCSE timetable consists of between 8 and 10 IGCSE subjects with allocations of 4 hours of teaching per week for Maths and English IGCSEs, and 2 hours per week for all other subjects. In addition to extra-curricular and co-curricular, we also expect our IGCSE students to attend a session with their success coach each week to ensure that they are thriving at our school and on course to reach their potential in their IGCSEs.
A typical sixth form timetable allocates 4 hours of teaching per A level subject. Some students may also opt for a 4th A Level subject, though this is not generally needed for University applications. In addition to extra-curricular, co-curricular and University preparation, we also expect our sixth form students to put in one hour of independent study for each hour spent with their teacher.
