Many Ark schools run a longer school day in order to provide adequate time for core subjects and enrichment opportunities. At Ark Boulton Academy we run a slightly longer school day so that our students have more time for learning and for taking part in the large number of enrichment activities that take place. Our school day runs from 08:20 to 15:10 on Mondays - Thursdays and 08:20 to 13:40 on Fridays. This amounts to 36.6 hours in a typical school week.
