We ask the Government to require all schools to have seven-hour days Monday to Thursday, while Fridays are reduced to 4.5 hours. This would preserve the total learning time required for education while allowing students a shorter end to the week.
Bridget Phillipson
Education Secretary
Reduce the school week to three days a week
Make Monday a half day for all secondary schools
Extend the school week by 5 hours for longer holidays
Mandate all schools to provide at least two PE lessons per week
Mandate school shorts to be part of the uniform in high schools
