Welcome to Stockport Academy
Head of Year – Mr John Pastoral Manager – Mrs Mc. Cann
The School Timetables for all students throughout the Academy follow a two – week cycle. This means that instead of listing the same set of lessons per week, students’ timetables will instead list two weeks’ worth of lessons. To differentiate between each, the first week is 'week A' and the second is 'week B'. After 10 school days of lessons, the cycle begins with week 1 again. There are five lessons per day, with each lesson lasting an hour. Afternoon registration is 13. 30 – 13. 40 pm. The first bell goes at 8. 25 am by which time all students should already be in school. Any student who arrives after the bell will have a 20 minute detention at lunch time.
