The minimum total time spent on teaching each
day is 5 hours (excluding break, registration, lunch and assembly
times). The total time for which each pupil is taught per week
is 25 hours.
Some pupils in years 9,10
and 11 undertake additional courses in Science and Technology
and, as a result, attend lessons beyond the normal working day.
The Government's recommended
minimum teaching time per week is 24 hours.
