THE SCHOOL DAY AT KENT COLLEGE CANTERBURY
Student life at Kent College Canterbury is rich and rewarding, with a carefully programmed school day to provide an excellent learning experience for our day and boarding students.
JUNIOR SCHOOL DAILY ROUTINE
We understand the challenges of modern day family life so at KC we offer extended daycare for children to help to provide extra wiggle room for busy parents.
NURSERY TO PRE-RECEPTION
Flexible individual sessions are available within the whole day between 7.30am and 6.30pm.
RECEPTION TO YEAR 6
- Early Care: 8.00-8.30am (or earlier by arrangement)
- School day: 8.40am-4.00pm (Reception: if your child is tired, collection time is flexible, particularly during the first few weeks of term.)
- Late Care: Homework, Clubs and activities 4.10-5.00pm and 5.10-6.00pm
OCCASIONAL BOARDING
Occasional boarding is becoming an increasingly popular option across the UK offering pupils the opportunity to experience boarding for a short term period. This could be on a regular basis for 1 night a week or for an adhoc night or week by pre-arrangement when parents may need to be away from home.
JUNIOR SCHOOL TIMETABLE
Some times may change slightly each day to enable an individualised programme.
