The School Year

• For many areas the year is divided into six terms:
• September to October
• October to December
• January to February
• February to March
• April to May
• June to July
• (Some counties in England still follow the traditional three terms a year.)
• The dates for school terms and holidays are decided by the local authority or the governing body of a school, or by the school itself for independent schools.

• School holidays
• The main school holidays are:
• Christmas- 2 weeks
• Spring - 2 weeks
• Summer - 6 weeks
• There are also one week holidays:

We believe extra-curricular activities play a very important role in the life of the pupil and the school. We therefore offer a variety of clubs for our students to join and enjoy. Many of our students also learn a musical instrument.

• Once the children have joined a club they are expected to attend regularly.

• Is your school a state or private (independent/public) school?
• Woodlands is a state school. Parents do not pay to send their children to our school. As a state school, we are financed by public funds, which means that the money comes from the national and local taxes. Ninety percent of children in England and Wales attend a state school

Some of the clubs only run at certain times of the year.

How many subjects do HMC Projects scholars study?

i) Advanced Subsidiary (AS): At the start of the Advanced Level programme (Key Stage 5), nearly all pupils study four subjects, and they are able to gain qualifications in these subjects at the end of the year. These are known as Advanced Subsidiary Levels (AS Levels). Sometimes pupils are able to study five subjects, but this will depend on the different programme of each school. After AS Levels, pupils drop one subject and usually continue their second year of the course in three subjects to Advanced level also called A2 level. Universities use Advanced Levels as entry qualifications.

Universities use Advanced Levels as entry qualifications.
• ii) Scottish Highers: Students will take at least five subjects at Higher Level, reducing to three or four for their Advanced Higher courses.
• iii) International Baccalaureate (IB): Increasing numbers of HMC schools are taking pupils for the International Baccalaureate, which is a parallel course to Advanced Levels and equally well used by universities for entry qualifications. The IB requires students to take courses in six subjects, three at higher level and three at lower level. Students are also required to take a course in the theory of knowledge, to write a long essay and to undertake some community service. This course is very similar to the Baccalaureate courses which are commonly studied in Europe.

How is the daily timetable organised?
Each school organises its timetable differently. Lessons might last 35, 40, 45, 55 or 60 minutes! For each subject, a student will attend classes for about 5 hours a week, and is also expected to undertake at least 6 hours private study. Students will usually also attend classes in General Studies, or Philosophy, or other similar subjects. There will also be time given to Physical Education or Sport, whether or not these are taken as subjects for studying. In England and Wales and in some Scottish schools the two years of Advanced Level, or International Baccalaureate study are often called "Sixth Form", but - once again - each school is different!
What activities are organised outside lessons?
Along with sport, schools offer a substantial programme of "extra-curricular activities"; that is, activities which are able to offer students a wide range of experiences, intellectual, cultural and relaxing. Music, drama, science and literary societies are offered in all schools, and there will be opportunities for outdoor education and other leisure activities. Visits to theatres and concerts, to places relevant to the courses of study (such as art galleries and museums, religious centres or historical sites, scientific companies and projects) are all part of life in a school Sixth Form.
