   School Day

   School days can be the best days of a child’s life. They learn a lot of interesting things and they can make friends that last a lifetime.

   School Subjects

   Children in England attend secondary school between the ages of 11 and 16. They study a lot of different subjects like English, Maths, Science, Geography and Art. From the ages of 14 to 16 all pupils prepare for their GCSEs. These are qualifications that pupils can use to get a job or go on to further studies.

   School life

   Most schools in England have a school uniform. The uniform usually has the school’s colours. Children go to school during the week and have up to 8 lessons a day. They have a morning break of about 15 minutes and a one-hour lunch break when they can catch up with their friends. Some pupils eat lunch in the school canteen but many bring a packed lunch.

   After-School Activities

   The day doesn’t always end at 3:30 pm. A lot of pupils do after-school activities. Some are members of their school’s football or hockey teams and compete with other schools in their area. Other pupils are in the school choir or play an instrument in the orchestra and perform in musical events during the school year. There are other clubs that pupils can join such as the art, drama or computer club to give them the complete learning experience.
