School Day
School lasts from 8:45 (form time)
with lessons beginning at 9am until
3.10pm.
Lessons are 1 hour or 55 minutes
long.
There is a break in the morning at
11.10am which lasts 15 minutes.
At break time, students usually eat
a snack.
Lunch
Lunch is at usually at 1:20 until
2:10pm, However in our school
we have two lunches. Students
stay in school and they either
bring their own lunch in a lunch
box
OR they can buy lunch from the
school canteen.
Number of Pupils
In LSA high school
there are 1100 pupils.
In local primary
schools there are
about 300 students.
There are on average
30 students in every
class.
The Classroom
Teachers have their own
classrooms and it is the students
that change rooms after every
lesson.
Depending on your level in a
subject you will be put in different
sets. For example, if you are
good at Spanish you will be in set
one, but if you are bad at English
you will be in set 5.
School Uniform
The school uniform varies from school
to school but most schools have one.
On certain days you can wear what you
want. For example, to raise money for
charity.
It stops children worrying about what to
wear, and teachers believe that it
makes students more disciplined.
