RE: is it so they don't need floodlights?? nt Yes, winter reserve games are afternoons and autumn/spring in evenings. To save power.
Fair do's that's my question answered. It is a bit annoying though, my school day was made shorter a couple of years back but we still don't finish til 2.30
RE: 2.30 ..... Ye it used to be 3.20 but now we start at 8.20 we only have fifteen mins for break, 45 for dinner and a shorter form period in morning. It was supposed to be so they could do extra curricular stuff between 2.30 and 3.30 but you can imagine how that turned out, volunteering to stay later ff
