fiza Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) How do your schools split their day? Currently we have a 2:1:2 split: Lesson 1 Lesson 2 Break Lesson 3 Lunch Lesson 4 Lesson 5 How is it organised in your school? Does anyone to a 2:2:1 split? Which is better? Secondary School.

Quackers Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 We do Registration (8:30-8:50) Lesson 1 (8:50-9:50) Lesson 2 (9:50-10:50) Break (10:50-11:05) Lesson 3 (11:05-12:05) Lesson 4 (12:05-13:05) Lunch (13:05-13:55) Lesson 5 (13:55-14:55)
hardtailstar Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 We do the same although lesson 4 and 5 is shorter as we have assemblies at the end of the day. We are a primary school too
fiza Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 We do Registration (8:30-8:50) Lesson 1 (8:50-9:50) Lesson 2 (9:50-10:50) Break (10:50-11:05) Lesson 3 (11:05-12:05) Lesson 4 (12:05-13:05) Lunch (13:05-13:55) Lesson 5 (13:55-14:55) Has it always been that way? We find students lack motivation for 2 lessons after lunch. We want to look at 2:2:1
synaesthesia Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah we have a 2:2:1 split here. Not a fan personally but seems to work
WalshamWarrior Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Lesson 1 - 8.30am Lesson 2 - 9.30am Break /Assembly Part 1 - 10.10am Break /Assembly Part 2 - 10.30am Lesson 3 - 11.00am Lesson 4 / Lunch Part 1 - 12.30pm Lesson 4 / Lunch Part 2 - 1.10pm Lesson 5 - 1.50pm Day Ends - 2.50pm Of course this makes setting lesson bells and booking software very difficult and means we have had to create a period of 10mins that doesn't even exist.
fiza Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah we have a 2:2:1 split here. Not a fan personally but seems to work Need some differing views so would be helpful to know why you don't like it.
AJWhite1970 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Longer day here but works really well with 2:2:2:2 (secondary school)... Registration (0840 - 0905) Period 1 (0905 - 0945) Period 2 (0945 - 1020) Break (1020 - 1040) Period 3 (1040 - 1115) Period 4 (1115 - 1155) Lunch (1155 - 1255) Registration (1255 - 1300) Period 5 (1300 - 1340) Period 6 (1340 - 1415) Break (1415 - 1435) Period 7 (1435 - 1510) Period 8 (1510 - 1550)
Nibiru Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 1 (08.50-09.40) 2 (09.40-10.30) break 3 (10.45-11.35) 4 (11.35-12.25) 5 (12.25-13.15) lunch 6 (14.05-14.55) 7 (14.55-15.45) Mon to thurs, pupils & most staff finish at lunchtime friday Bloody stupid system if you ask me. The only thing going for it is I have a couple of hours friday afternoon with almost nobody around to get into the classrooms and do those jobs that really need doing when there is no-one around, update machines etc.
fiza Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 wow! certainly some unique school timings around and some quite long school days.
Nibiru Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Our weird system is a recent change - we we had been on a 2:2:2 system for donkeys years until this academic year.
clockend25 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Registration (08:50 - 09:10) Period 1 (09:10 - 10:00) Period 2 (10:00 - 10:50) Break (10:50 - 11:10) Period 3 (11:10 - 12:00) Period 4 (12:00 - 12:50) Lunch (12:50 - 13:40) Period 5 (13:40 - 14:30) Period 6 (14:30 - 15:20) We changed over to this from September.
Quackers Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Has it always been that way? We find students lack motivation for 2 lessons after lunch. We want to look at 2:2:1 No, we did originally have 2 periods after lunch but the last period the kids always played up and could not be bothered, so we made it 1 lesson after lunch.
fiza Posted January 15, 2015 Author Posted January 15, 2015 No, we did originally have 2 periods after lunch but the last period the kids always played up and could not be bothered, so we made it 1 lesson after lunch. That's our issue too! - - - Updated - - - Another 2:2:1 split here. Secondary school. How do students find it? Does it work well for them to have just one lesson after lunch?
Seb1780 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) We operate only 4 periods per day, each of 75 minutes. Reg P1 P2 Break P3 Lunch P4 We took out PM registration about 18 months ago and use P4 to cover the PM session mark. This cuts down on the between periods larking about, it also means school finishes at 1510 leaving time for meetings etc When I first started here the mornings used to drag as there are three hours between my start time and brew time, but then the afternoons flew by.

stitch Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 We have a 2:2:1 split here. Registration (08:40 - 09:05) Period 1 (09:05 - 10:05) Period 2 (10:05 - 11:05) Break (11:05 - 11:30) Period 3 (11:30 - 12:30) Period 4 (12:30 - 13:30) Lunch (13:30 - 14:20) Period 5 (14:20 - 15:20) We did have to change to a 2:1:2 split during the exams period, but the new exams officer got rid of that.
Soulfish Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 The last school I worked in had an interesting school day: Period 1 (8:30 - 11:50) Form/Assembly Time (11:50 - 12:20) Period 2 (12:20 - 16:00) There was a rolling break during period 1 (20 minutes) and a rolling lunch during period 2 (40 minutes) so the break/lunch time would depend on the class. Period 1 and Period 2 could also be sub-divided into 2 "half" sessions (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b). This was typically done for KS3, but KS4/KS5 tended to have the full 3hr session. AM registration was taken during P1/P1a, PM during P2/P2a.
bossman Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 We do 08:45 - 09:00 15 minutes Morning Registration 09:00 - 10:00 1 hour Lesson 1 10:00 - 11:00 1 hour Lesson 2 11:00 - 11:15 15 minutes Break 11:15 - 12:15 1 hour Lesson 3 12:15 - 13:00 45 minutes Lunch 13:00 - 14:00 1 hour Lesson 4 14:00 - 15:00 1 hour Lesson 5 15:00 end of school day
elsiegee40 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 My governor, secondary school uses 2:2:1. They find more lesson 4 is more productive if it's before lunch! It does mean that the morning is very long and, being a boys school, they have a large number of teenage lads who would probably die of starvation if not fed mid morning. As a result, the school has a 30 minute break after lesson 2 when the canteen is open to allow the lads to refuel and get some exercise before being penned indoors to work again.
