Hi, just popping in because I really need to know this ASAP and I figured this is the best place to ask.
Could someone give me a conclusive answer to the following question:
Do British primary-school children have one afternoon in the week off? If so, on which day?

In other words, could you give me the specified hours per week a child would normally be in primary school?
Many many thanks in advance!

casts mind back a long time ... the answer is no they do not have an afternoon off.

Primary school hours are about 9-3 and secondry or high school hours are about 9-4

BTW at 26 are you a little to old to go to school? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

No there are no afternoons off, 9-3 sounds about right, but schools can vary the times to a certain extent I think, but not hours worked.

This is true for the English system, don't know about Scotland or other systems based on ours.

No afternoons off in Scotland either, although in some academys (aka secondary schools [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) you get an afternoon a week off.

Primary school is 9 - 2.45 up to primary 3 , and 9 - 3.30 from P4 upwards as far as I remember.

In my Primary school it was:

9-3.15 ( It used to be 9-3 for lower school, and 9-3.30 for upper, but they evened it to 3.15)

Secondary - 8.50 (lessons start) to 3.20.

Wish we had an afternoon off [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

We're 8:30 to 3:10 here

9-330 for us, and we're based off a British model.
