Buckswood school day lasts from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm, which is divided in the following way:  lessons end at 3:00 pm and the rest 1 hour and 45 minutes students have a so-called „Prep Time”. During this period, Buckswood students prepare homework for the next day under the supervision of a tutor, housemaster or teacher.

In addition, they have an alternative to complete these assignments at home, in whole or in part, and to devote the prep time to their favorite club, extra-curricular or house activities, or take advantage of an extra consulting hour with a specific subject teacher. Twice a week - Tuesdays and Thursdays, Buckswoodians also have an option of leaving the school as soon as lessons are over (3pm), and using that period for other personal purposes.
