Clare Browne and Ministry of Education to Introduce Extended School Hours in Pilot Scheme at Sir Novelle Richards Academy and Glanvilles Secondary

Browne further clarified that the goal of extending school hours is not primarily academic but rather to provide students with opportunities to explore their creativity and talents through activities like music, pan, and guitar.

Discussions are currently underway with the Director of Culture, Khan Cordice, to help design suitable activities for these extended hours. Presently, the regular school day concludes at 1:30 PM, with plans for a half-hour recess before resuming activities at 2:00 PM, which will continue until 3:00 PM.

While no specific date has been announced for the program’s launch, Browne emphasized the significance of consulting key stakeholders—parents, teachers, and other interested groups—to secure their support for the initiative.

He underscored that the rollout will be gradual, requiring careful planning and backing before it commences formally.
