Our normal timetable (without COVID)

The daily timetable reflects our desire to make the most of our learning time at school and make it as productive and rewarding as possible.  Concentration and enthusiasm for learning is always highest during the morning period for children and, as such, we have aligned our school timetable and programme to cater for this.  Otane School takes pride in its innovative thinking and willingness to think outside the square.

School lunch orders can be made at the Otane General Store on Fridays.
