How long is your school day?

School usually starts at nine o'clock in the morning and finishes at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Most schools in Britain require their students to wear a school uniform.

Our School starts at 8:55 with registration.

What is registration?
The attendance of every child attending school each morning and afternoon is recorded in a special book.

The teacher reads out each child’s name in turn. On hearing his/her name, the child replies 'yes Mrs. (teacher's name)' and the teacher notes down in the book whether the child is in school or not.

At 9:10 we go to assembly. In assembly we sing songs, listen to a story and pray.

Our first lesson begins at 9:20.

We have break time from 10:20 until 10:35. During break time, the children have a snack and play games out doors.

Afterwards, we go back in for another lesson until lunch at 12:00.

Afternoon lessons begin at 1:10 and end at 3:15, when the children go home.

We do not have a break in the afternoon.

Actual taught time as defined by Department of Education is 23.5 hours weekly.
