Grammar schools in Shakespeare's day started at 6 am and finished at 5 pm in the summer: an eleven-hour day. Due to the shortness of the days in winter this was reduced to a nine-hour day from seven to four. Classes were on for five and a half days a week: they got Sunday and half of Thursday off. The school year was 44 weeks: there were 8 weeks of holiday altogether.
