* Age of students: Primary school (elementary school) finishes much earlier than secondary school (high school).
* School type: Private schools may have different schedules than public schools.
* Specific school policies: Individual schools might adjust their schedules slightly.
However, we can give some general ranges:
British Schools:
* Primary School (ages 4-11): Typically finishes between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm.
* Secondary School (ages 11-18): Usually finishes between 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm, though some schools might have slightly later finishing times, especially if they offer extracurricular activities during the school day.
American Schools:
* Elementary School (typically K-5): Usually finishes between 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm.
* Middle School (typically 6-8): Often finishes between 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm.
* High School (typically 9-12): Generally finishes between 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm, but can sometimes extend later depending on extra-curricular activities.
It's important to note that these are just *rough* estimates. To know the precise finishing time for a particular school, you need to check its individual website or contact the school directly.
