Timetable Structure
Five lessons a day
The school day will begins at 8.40am with registration until 09:00.
Two-week timetable
Lessons at Morriston Comprehensive School are timetabled on a fortnightly basis; pupils must remember whether it is Week A or Week B (this is clearly indicated in their planners) and organise themselves and their equipment accordingly.
Timetables run for 50 periods over ten days, this is done so that we can allocate time and resources more effectively. Year 7 pupils are given a personal timetable telling them which subject and teacher they have in which room for each of the 50 lessons.

These are:
5 hours of Welsh
