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.

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 ¡¡ |

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.

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
