The School Day

The government’s new white paper “Opportunity for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child” sets out the clear expectation that all state-funded mainstream schools should deliver a school week of at least 32.5 hours.
 

This 32.5 hour minimum expectation includes the time in each day from the official start of school (i.e. morning registration) to the official end of the compulsory school day (i.e. home time). The 32.5 hour minimum includes breaks, lunchtimes and any extra-curricular activities that all pupils are expected to attend. However, it does not include optional wraparound care provision.

 

Please note the revised timings below, which will be implemented from September 2022.
