Breaks and lunches are so uneventful it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s incredible, in other words the only break you get is probably worse than the lessons. Teachers are mostly ok however some classes are uncontrolled and it can be hard or almost impossible to learn in them. I honestly wouldn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t recommend it as a student of 5 years. It has seriously declined in quality. Punishment is in many ways unfair for the severity of the misbehaviour. It Seems like sometimes more successful students or higher set students are treated better and with better attention from teachers. Toilets boys or girls as said by the head teacher publicly to students are the most threatening place to be for lower years as found out in a study and questionnaire of kind on kids, they are not toilets, they are a common room for kids to do something or anything during breaks or lunches or even in between\/during lessons usually filled with very loud and aggressive acting kids, the boys toilets especially.
