Length of school day, including start and end times, at London day schools?

[Bonsoir]

Could anyone tell me, for the purposes of comparison, when their DCs' school day starts and ends?

I'm looking at schools in Paris that start at 8am and go on until 5.30.

DD gets in at 5.30pm 3 nights a week (7pm on the other 2). She showers, eats then chills until 7.30pm, does HW from 7.30 - 9pm then bed.

This way works as she gets to spend time with younger siblings and they are generally in bed or at least winding down when she's doing HW.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I do feel reassured that it is manageable! I'm very keen for DD to attend a particular school (not that she has secured a place - or even taken the entrance exam - yet!) because I think it will offer the most in terms of both her multiple language development but also environment/extra-curricular opportunities.

And I do need to remember that both her brothers will be away at university next year and she will have both her parents to help out with logistics!

Just outside London: Drop off at 7:30am and pick up at 7:30 pm. All meals taken at school and homework done there as well

No meals on offer at school in France beyond lunch! Not even a glass of water...

Bonsoir- but french schools often have half day Wednesday for sports and some late starts and permanence in the middle of the day.
We came from the french system and I was convinced we did more hours in school- registration was 8am and often 5.30 finish, however after meticulously adding hours and subtracting holidays I found we did a few hours less annually than UK schools in school but the homework aspect was more than double starting from year 7.
The school holidays were longer than our UK counterparts.

This school doesn't have late starts and holes in the day because of the extra hours (six extra hours of school per week).

Wednesday afternoon is indeed not timetabled but will quickly be eaten up with piano/music theory/sport.

8:25am - 4pm with 1.5hrs hw

-def check out the homework/constant testing , DD ended up having to drop most extra curric Y8 . academically v rigorous. V traditional teaching methods great - but killed the enjoyment of learning as homework was heaped on.

Lots of homework and constant controles are sadly pretty much par for the course in France

Hi bonsoir
Yes the hours are like a working day (longer than many peoples, actually) in the French system.
Its not geared to whether it is healthy or not for the child.
After quatrieme, they lose the Wednesday half day. so no time in the week for any extra sport/music lessons etc
it is excessively long. also in Northern Europe, in winter, your child will be going to school in dark and returning in the dark with commuters.
School day at lycée in London is 830 to 605pm many days.

French parents complain, but nil will change. they will keep having the conseil de classe, etc but nil will improve/alter..
The timetable is set for the convenience of the profs regardless of impact.

(as are the parent-teacher meetings at teacher convenience, which have a mayhem of parents doing a mock-up of a school day, going from classroom to classroom, while the teacher stays put, bizarrely)

no point in questioning anything, no prof has any 'power' nor does proviseur (who change regularly anyway)
thats just the way it is ! :)
