Primary school schedule

Post new topic

Another question; I was wondering what kind of 'schedule' can I expect from Maltese primary school - what time do the classes tend to start and finish (my kids are 7, 8 and 10)? How much homework can we expect?

Hi. In st Pauls bay school. They start at 7,45am and finish around 1.30pm. The schools bus picks up at various times depending on where you live. Anything between 6.45 and 7.15am. They get quite abit of homework, every night and it has to be in for the next day.

In Gzira school starts at 8 and ends at 14:10
expect A LOT of homework, sometimes it takes more then 90 minutes to finish everything

Hello, I am thinking of moving to Malta with my three children ( 7,10,13) and have a lot of questions :) . Most important question is about the school. Is there any public schools where the teaching language is English in every class? I would be very happy to get information about this :top:
