IN your article dated May 27, setting out the changes to the school day from September for both the Clarendon College and the John of Gaunt School, you rightly indicated that a few parents were concerned about the timings.

Could I therefore clarify the situation with regard to John of Gaunt? I believe there has been some confusion between our new daily schedule and that of Clarendon College. Our finishing time will be at 3pm every day of the week and parents have been informed via our recent internal newsletter.

As reported in the article, we believe that our new school day will be immense benefit to the quality of learning experienced by our students.
