Abstract

Abstract The traditional school day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with morning and afternoon breaks and a lunch break of more than an hour, is rapidly becoming a thing of the past in secondary schools. In recent years radical changes have come in several schools due to the increasing pressures upon pupils and staff arising from the numerous ‘initiatives’ promoted by Education Ministers since the early 1980s. The extra workload needs to be timetabled and a rearrangement of school times can be of benefit to both pupils and staff in a number of ways. This paper documents the reasons, discussions, reactions and processes involved in the recent changes to the structure of the school day introduced in Willingdon Secondary School, East Sussex.
