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?

I think 3:25pm. Either that or 3:20pm

DS is still at primary but I know the secondary school finishes at 2.55pm.

3 pm. What time does yours start

Schools round here range from 2.20pm to 3.20pm with starting times between 7.40 and 8.40am.

None of them should finish earlier than 4pm imo.
Start later, finish later would be ideal.
2 pm is insane, especially if you have to work til 5 ish.
Ours finishes at 3. And all mine wants to do after is game...from 3.20 pm. I hate it. So many arguments.

Dd’s school is 8.30 -3.10
Ds’s school is 8.10- 2.50
Another local school is 7.40 - 2.20.

Mon/Tue/Thur - 8.55-2.55
Wed/Fri - 8.55-3.45

8.45 to 3.45

Mon - Wed close at 3.40, thurs and Friday 2.50.

Oh start at 8.45 every day

That's not really a school problem though is it? If they finished at 4 they would game from 4:20

3.40

8.20-4.05

I would assume that if they finish at 2,00 they must start earlier, such as 8.00? They have to get a certain amount of hours in legally

8.40-3.15

My son,s s hool.finish at 2.50pm but they have to.be there for 8.30 and they only have a 20 minute break in the morning and half an hour for lunch .

And tbh I prefer it my school.day in the 80,s was a lot longer and more drawn out with much longer breaks .

I don't know why the face Bunny
Yes, it's a school problem in that school starts too early and ends too early. It's also a kid problem and a gaming problem.
And he doesn't always game from 3.20 but he wants to and it causes stress.

Also there has been a ton of research proving that teens do much better with a later start/ later finish.

4:15 or 1 on a Saturday.

On Saturday, prof?

That's interesting, where are you and what type of school is that?

We’re in London. How are working parents supposed to juggle/afford kids finishing school early (if there aren’t after school clubs or wraparound care?)

@Baguetteaboutit lots of independent schools have Saturday school

2pm seems really early for the U.K., but overseas sometimes have different timings

3.05. Starts at 8.35.

13yo DS goes to secondary in NE Scotland.

8.40am - 3.50pm Monday to Thursday
8.40am - 1.10pm Friday

8:30 start (registration then lessons), lessons finish at 3:50.
