Timetable

These timetable ideas maintain a core of English and mathematics in the mornings for juniors to gain basic literacy and numeracy. Such is necessary to survive well in modern society.

Junior Timetable Example

The aim is to keep it really simple. Here is a simple 5 Day timetable with one hour classes. If a school wanted more subjects, shorter lessons would enable the addition of one more morning subject. However, the real aim is excellence rather than mediocrity across a myriad of subjects.

	Homeroom	Period 1	Period 2	Break	Period 3	Run	Lunch	Activity
Monday		Maths	English / Social Studies		Science	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Tuesday		Science	Maths		English / Social Studies	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Wednesday		English / Social Studies	Science		Maths	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Thursday		As required	As required		As required	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Friday		As required	As required		As required	All students run for 30mins		Study area X

An extra Junior subject or two could be added if a school took out say, one lesson from each of the main subjects. This example uses a 6 Day timetable. But the ideal would be fewer subjects (as above) studied in more depth

	Homeroom	Period 1	Period 2	Break	Period 3	Run	Lunch	Activity
Day 1		Maths	Extra subject 1		Science	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Day 2		Extra subject 1	Maths		English / Social Studies	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Day 3		English / Social Studies	Science		Extra subject 1	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Day 4		Maths	Extra subject 2		Science	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Day 5		Extra subject 2	Maths		English / Social Studies	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Day 6		English / Social Studies	Science		Extra subject 2	All students run for 30mins		Study area X

Senior Timetable

It would be important for students to make their choices very carefully since their future would be determined by these choices. They are also able to choose a subject in the afternoon programme but must study it all year with the aim of achieving a very high standard (they ought to be able to cover two or three years of work in one year). Maths and English would be compulsory for the first senior year only to ensure the basic required level of literacy / numeracy.

5 Day timetable with Subjects A, B, C

	Homeroom	Period 1	Period 2	Break	Period 3	Run	Lunch	Activity
Monday		A	B		C	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Tuesday		C	A		B	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Wednesday		B	C		A	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Thursday		A	B		C	All students run for 30mins		Study area X
Friday		C	A		B	All students run for 30mins		Study area X

6 Day timetable, with an extra subject added (depending upon the school's requirement)

	Homeroom	Period 1	Period 2	Break	Period 3	Run	Lunch	Period 4	Activity (finish later)
Day 1		A	B		C	All students run for 30mins		D	Study area X
Day 2		D	A		B	All students run for 30mins		C	Study area X
Day 3		C	D		A	All students run for 30mins		B	Study area X
Day 4		B	C		D	All students run for 30mins		A	Study area X
Day 5		A	B		C	All students run for 30mins		D	Study area X
Day 6		D	A		B	All students run for 30mins		C	Study area X

Naturally, there are many combinations that can be made for a timetable. The whole point of this system, however, is less academic focus to allow students to excel at what they choose to do. Some may indeed choose to focus on academics, but others will be free to focus on developing skills in music, sport, art, computing, electronics ...

Simply, the idea is: Morning School; Afternoon Excellence
