What time does your child's secondary school finish?

[KurriKawari]

Just need to figure out whether I'm being unreasonable or it's the norm for schools to finish at 2pm?

2pm seems very early.
DD's finishes at 3pm.

• Tutor time
• 2 lessons
• break
• 2 lessons
• lunch
• 1 lesson

Lessons are 1hr each so 5hrs teaching per day, 25 per week.

15:10, they start at 8:45 and have 2 breaks and 5 hour long lessons.

3.15pm pretty standard where I live.

3.15pm

I don't know exactly. Some time between 3 and 3.30

Are you worried that they aren't teaching for long enough, aren't there rules about that? I'd be surprised if they weren't doing the required amount.

3pm
Where are you (country wise)

DD is in year 11 and the official finish time is 2.45pm, however she attends 'voluntary' enhancement sessions Tues to Fri for an hour extra. But that's because the year are so woefully behind with massive gaps in their learning due to previous management that to stand a fighting chance of decent results, it needs to be done.
School starts at 8.35am, though during exams, which are happening every term this year, they are also going in an hour earlier too. Long day, but needs must really.

It depends what time they start and how long they have for breaks. I think the amount of teaching hours is regulated but you can fit them in however you like. DS does 8:45 to 3:00 with two short breaks (10 minutes I think) and 30 minutes for lunch. They finish at 2 on a Friday.

Three days at 15.05, two days at 15.55. They start at 8.50.

2pm seems very early by UK standards.

3.10

3:20

4.00. 8 35 minute lessons, 5 minute gaps in between, and a long (1.5 hour) lunch break with lots of clubs.

2:50 in the midlands

You must have known this before they started there?

Mine finished at 2:20pm when I was at secondary school. Loved it

3.15pm.

I personally think it’s too early. Ds has to be at school at 8.40am and all the research says the teenage brain works best later in the day due to their natural sleep cycle.

It would be better to start at 9.00am or even later and finish at 3.45pm in my opinion.

Monday - Thursday 8:15 - 3.30/ 4.30 with clubs. Friday 8:15 - 1:30.

3.40pm Monday through Thursday, 2.40pm Friday. Start at 8.40am every day.

The school I work at starts at 08:35 and finishes at 15:40. We are the only school in our city that still has one hour for lunch and half an hour for break.

8.40 - 14.30

8.45-3.20

Though I think 10.45-5.20 would be sooo much better.

3.15 pm around here. Essex.

3.15pm

Mine finishes at 4pm every day except Friday when it's 1.30pm.
