16+ School Day

The local authority funds up to 16 hours a week for post-16 students, and this is classed as full-time education. These 16 hours are spread out across the week and may look a little different depending on which pathway a student is following.

Some students might be in four days a week for shorter sessions, while others might have longer days but fewer of them. The school day can run from 8.45am until 4.30pm.

Post-16 students are timetabled across the week
