	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>All schools have the autonomy to decide the structure and duration of their school day, which includes the flexibility to decide when their school day should start and finish. We trust head teachers to decide how best to structure their school day to support their pupils’ education. The department does not collect data on the number of schools who have chosen to make changes to their school days and has not made an assessment of these decisions taken by individual schools.</p><p> </p><p>The Education (School Day and School Year) (England) Regulations 1999 require all maintained schools to be open to educate their pupils for at least 380 sessions (190 days) in each school year. There are no specific legal requirements setting out over how many days in each week these sessions should be delivered, or how long each individual school day should be. Governing bodies of all maintained schools in England are responsible for deciding when sessions should begin and end on each school day. They are also responsible for deciding the length of each lesson and the timings for the morning session, the midday break, and the afternoon session. Academy and free school funding agreements state that the duration of the school day is the responsibility of the academy trust.</p><p>In the event that a school decides to make changes to its school day, it is our expectation that the school should act reasonably; giving parents notice and considering those affected, including pupils, teachers, and parents.</p><p> </p><p>Schools and trusts should ensure they achieve efficiency through non-teaching spend, effective curriculum planning, and learning from best practice being delivered by good or outstanding schools of comparable sizes, phase and geography.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 16/05/2018 17:00:41 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
