Liberty Woodland School in London implements a four-day school week, finding positive effects on both pupils and teachers.
Liberty Woodland School in Morden, south London, operates under a unique four-day school week model. Pupils attend classes from Monday to Thursday, enjoying Fridays off. Teachers, in turn, conclude their workday at noon on Fridays, utilizing the time for lesson planning, marking, and online homework support. The school day is extended, commencing at 8:30 am and concluding at 4:40 pm.
Headteacher Leanna Barrett emphasizes the positive impact of this approach, citing improved pupil mental health and reduced teacher workload. Pupils are encouraged to use their Fridays to pursue personal interests, such as sports, music, or career exploration. The forest school ethos permeates the curriculum, with outdoor learning incorporated to energize children. Barrett cites an example of a Year 9 student who utilizes Fridays to learn about British wildlife, aspiring to volunteer in the field. For teachers, the shortened week allows for more focused lesson planning and a renewed sense of dedication to their craft
