Every day at The Lisboan balances academic learning with creativity, physical activity, wellbeing and opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. While timetables vary by age, students enjoy a mix of core subjects, specialist lessons, break times, outdoor play or recreation, lunch and collaborative projects.
EARLY YEARS
Nursery – Reception
A typical day includes play-based learning, phonics, early mathematics, creative activities, outdoor exploration, music, PE and Portuguese, with time for rest or quiet activities for our youngest learners.
PRIMARY
Years 1 – 6
Students typically have English, Mathematics, Science or Humanities, alongside specialist lessons such as Portuguese, Art, Music, Computer Science and PE. Reading, enquiry-based learning and regular educational visits are also part of the week.
SECONDARY
Years 7 – 13
Students follow a subject-based timetable, moving between specialist classrooms for lessons including English, Mathematics, Sciences, Languages, Humanities, Arts and PE. They also benefit from tutor time, wellbeing support and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities.
ARRIVAL
Students may arrive from 8 am, when staff begin supervision.
We encourage students to arrive a few minutes before lessons begin to ensure a calm and positive start to the day.

- Enjoy healthy meals

Lunch arrangements vary slightly according to age group to ensure an enjoyable experience for all students.
