Changes at Kingsmeadow School
By Tyler Watson, aged 14
My mum, like lots of parents, always used to complain about
getting me up in time for school in the morning. Our headteacher, Mr
Murphy, was worried too, because so many students were arriving
late and not concentrating during lessons.
Mr Murphy had read some research that showed that teenagers are
not lazy, but compared to adults and children, they need to sleep
longer in the mornings and often want to go to bed later at night. He
and his staff decided to do an experiment to test this idea and try to
improve the situation at our school.
We had to take a series of memory tests. Some we did as soon as we
arrived at nine in the morning, then after lunch we did some more.
When the scores of the morning tests were compared with those
taken later, they found that we had scored more highly in the
afternoon tests. Our teachers had expected it to be the other way
round. They could hardly believe that although we seem to be
better behaved in the morning, we actually remember more in the
afternoon.
As a result of this experiment, Mr Murphy has made some changes
to the school day. Kingsmeadow school is still open from 8 am to 5
pm, but lessons now start at 11 am. The time before that is used for
meetings and preparing lessons.
All my classmates think the new timetable is cool. We don’t feel tired
in lessons any more and the teachers say our grades are improving.
Soon there’s going to be a meeting with parents, teachers and school
governors about the new timetable. We all hope they decide to keep
it forever.
