Auto corrupt of study hall, also known as a free period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_hall

  • That would be very unusual until the final two years of school in England.

    • As a predefined period sure, but I assume kids in crutches still skip PE and whatnot, though you might be calling it something else.

      Whatever you call a disruption in normal education such as when a teacher gets in a car accident on the way to work and suddenly there’s a non educational period for kids.

    • I only saw them in A levels, not during my GCSEs.

      But the GCSEs were September 1998 to June 2000, and the UK government loves to fiddle with education, so I wouldn't be shocked if you told me that had changed.
