Sessions are the published times of the school day when the school is open for pupils.

There are usually two sessions per day - morning and afternoon, split by a lunch break. There is also usually a break mid-session, particularly during the morning. This break remains within Directed Time.

During those sessions, teachers will have timetabled teaching time.

A teacher’s timetable should include, and have clearly marked on it, guaranteed planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) time and, if applicable, leadership and management time.
