TIMETABLING THE DAY
Suggested timetables for a day in school
- To help you plan the day, here are sample schedules that have worked
successfully in primary schools (scroll to bottom of page for secondary schools).
- Your timings will probably differ a little from these, but they should give you a realistic idea as to what is possible.
- Prior to my visit, I will agree actual timings, sessions, and class / year involvement with you.

- It can be as part of an enrichment programme (eg a history focus week, a non-fiction week, and so on)
