Ok this is only one school in the UK but our day is broken up as follows.

/Registration/ 8:30 am - 8:50am
/Lesson 1/ 8:50 am - 9:40 am
/Lesson 2/ 9:40 am - 10:30 am
/Break/ 10:30 am - 10:50 am
/Lesson 3/ 10:50 am - 11:40 am
/Lesson 4/ 11:40 am - 12:30 pm
/Registration/ 1:10 pm - 1:20 pm
/Lesson 5/ 1:20 pm - 2:10 pm
/Lesson 6/ 2:10 pm - 3:00 pm

We are required by law to have the AM and PM registration, currently teachers are volantarily entering Lesson attendance.

When I printed out attendance sheets for lessons for parents evening for the teachers that had done lesson attendance, the teachers that had not done it questioned me why I did not give them there lesson attendance sheets, when I explained it was because they had not used electronic lesson attendance, all of a sudden we had in the range of 95% take up of class registration.

Management are now leaning to making it compulsory in our school.
