A Boarding School Day

Boarding school. What’s it really like? What is a real British boarding school like?

We wake up at 6:30 in the morning and have breakfast in the school canteen.

At 8, the bell rings for assembly in the hall. The great thing about boarding school is that we’re never late for school.

Lessons start at 9:00 and finish at 3:30.

My favourite lesson is science because we often do experiments. In the afternoon, we sometimes go to the library to read, or we do PE in the gym.

In the evening, I often play badminton or go to a cookery class.

I go to a boarding school because my parents live in France. Do I miss them? Yes, but I’ve got some good friends here.
