Alternative Day.

Is there a student council that could bring this subject up?

In my old high school there were 3 30mins lunch.

the lesson slot was 12:30-2:00
Lunch A would be 12:30 - 1:00 and would then do an hr lesson
Lunch B would be 1:00 - 1:30 and the lesson would be split
Lunch C would be 1:30 - 2:00 and the lesson would be before.

It worked really well as there was a max of two year groups in each lunch slot. We weren't allowed out so this worked best for us.
We also didn't have any lunch time clubs, all this happened after-school

That's what he sort of wants to do with our school. But many don't want it, As he wants after school activities on till 6PM.

And yes, we have a school council, but they hardly actually change anything, But we've gone straight to him gave him a letter, with some solutions, He recognised, there's a lot of people against the proposal. He said he's willing to look at idea, He's even invited four of us, to a meeting to show our concerns.

The thing is he's an alright man personal, but he's changing a lot of stuff what works fine at the moment he's only been head teacher for less then a year, and in an Ofsted inspection,

The school changed from ''Outstanding'' to ''Satisfactory''

Could he not just encourage pack lunches lmfao, or hire extra staff for a new till?

Yeah why not just stagger it within lunch and rotate it every day like year 7 first this day 10 minutes later year 8 etc and then rotate it so there are 5 years and 5 days? Also if you miss your slot you just have to wait until the end? There are many ways in solving it rather than doing something that drastic. Like at our school we have detention, homework and clubs to do at lunch and to get rid of it would destroy so much school community because so many clubs would stop as people don't want to stay after school and it's something to keep you occupied at lunch.

My School has a system where you have three lessons and for two of them you'll have a lunch break (So either the first and second or the second and third) and it works out pretty well because all the clubs (..and detentions) can run during the second and people doing those can have lunch at the other times.

We just all go at once; mind you theres only like 3000 students at my school

Works fine here!

At my old school
year 10 would have 1st lesson, 2nd lesson, break, 3rd lesson, 4th lesson, dinner time, 5th lesson, home
Year 11 would have 1st lesson, 2nd lesson, break, 3rd lesson, dinner time, 4th lesson, 5th lesson, home

That has always worked...
