School Life for a British Schoolboy

I leave home at 6:45 and walk 20 minutes to catch a bus school. The journey takes an hour because the bus has to keep stopping to pick up other students along the way. On arriving I go to my Tutor Room for registration at 8:30.

We do our early morning work while our class teacher takes the attendance register. The attendance of every child is recorded in a special registration book each morning and afternoon. The teacher reads out each morning and afternoon. The teacher reads out each child’s name in turn, a child replies and the teacher writes down in the book whether the child is present or not.

At about 8:50 we leave our Tutor Room to go to the Assembly Hall. In the hall we listen to the music playing.

Every day I have a different first lesson. Normally it is English but I also have Maths, Computers, Drama and Music, and French on other days. All my lessons are in different rooms and places around the school. I have different teachers for each lesson. I have a locker where I can store some of my stuff.

Every student carries a swipe card. We swipe into every lesson to the school know where we are when something happens. We can put money on our swipe cards instead of carrying cash around.

We have our morning break from 10:20 to 10:35 a. m. The children can bring snack from home to eat in the playgrounds. It is usually a packet of crisps, fruit or a couple of biscuits. We can play games on either of our two playgrounds, adventure playground or in the large playing field.

Lunch time is from noon to 1:10 p.m. Some children will have a school dinner cooked in our school kitchen. Afternoon lessons continue until 3.15 p. m. when we go home.
