It'll depend on your school timetabling and the number of subjects you've taken. We won't be able to tell you really!

During AS I had 6 frees a week. In A2 I had a total of 12 frees.

It depends on the sch as I had to stay during my afternoon frees in AS. Where as at A2 when I only had psychology weds morn I could leave after that

yup, really depends on your school and how your day works. eg at my school i get 7 45 minute periods every day.

Generally there are 25 hours of possible lessons a week. It depends on your school, but at mine, we have to do 4 hours a week of lessons per subject. So that's 16 hours of lessons, 9 hours of free time every week. How they are distributed depends on your school, how long lessons actually are, staff available, your combination of subjects, etc.

I had about 7 and 1/2 hours free in my first year doing 4 subjects! That's not including lunch and breaks, which would total it up to about 17 hours (roughly.)

I hated my free's, they were incredibly boring and the way my subjects were timetabled meant I couldn't even go in later or finish early as every day I ALWAYS had a lesson at the start of the day and at the end to be in for. I'm sure if you have half days, going home at 12 like you said, it would make your day much more enjoyable. I'm just dreading the increased amount of free time I'll get in September. This year's amount was enough to bore me to death!

Your timetable will really vary depending on what school/college you're attending.

i got 2 frees a week. that's 2x1hr 15. As per other posts, depends on your school timtabling and how long each period is etc etc.

Depends on your school to be honest, how they timetable the classes, how many subjects you take etc. I had in total 10 hours (only because everyone would either have a 12pm start on Wednesday or Thursday) so roughly 7 hours per week.

In most schools you would expect to get the equivalent of a day per week taught for each course

Then it depends on your school
Some will still have compulsory sports/PE
Some will have compulsory community service within school
Some will have compulsory General Studies/Critical Thinking/PSHE lessons

So each of these could take away from your "private study" lessons


Re going home at lunchtime ... this also depends on your school, not only the timetable but also their policy ... some schools insist that you stay in school for the full day anyway
