Students will return to school on Wednesday January 9, with year groups on a rota - as the school currently has a lack of buildings to accommodate all pupils.
A statement from Lytchett Minster School said: "Due to the shortage of classrooms, it will be necessary to create a special timetable, restricting the number of students in school each day.
