   Does extending a school day make a difference?

   • between a third and a half of state schools already offer a longer day (and 70-80% of private schools). but extending time isn’t automatically going to lead to better outcomes. In fact, international evidence shows no necessary correlation between length of the day, and performance on international league tables.

   When does a minimum school week start in 2023?

   Should a school day be extended?

   • As a research-informed profession, any plans should be guided by the available research. The evidence around lengthening the school day is mixed and mostly correlational rather than causal. What appears to matter most is how this time is used rather than the quantity of time.

   How many days a year are schools open?

   • Schools are open for 200 days per year, less five days when they are closed for staff training and five optional closure days. Full-time teachers work 195 days in any year and should be teaching children in a classroom for no more than 190 days. This may be reduced to 185 days if a school uses all its School Development Days.
