A Day at London School

It is 08:15 on Monday. Mei meets Hamid at the station entrance because it is raining heavily today.

Hamid explains that he uses a contactless card for the bus. He says that the price is 1.75 pounds per trip.

Mei prefers her Oyster card because she has a student discount. She checks the balance on the machine at 08:20.

A station announcement warns of roadworks near the school. They decide to take the train to platform 4 immediately.

They board the train at 08:30. Mei mentions that the British school system has key stages for every student.

Hamid notes that secondary education starts at age 11. He adds that the national curriculum is very important.

They arrive at the school gate at 09:00. The security guard tells them to sign the visitor register first.

Mei remembers she has a doctor appointment at 14:00. She asks Hamid if they can finish the meeting early.

They enter the building to find the office. The secretary says that the principal is waiting for them in the hall.

They sit down at 09:15 to discuss the school rules. Mei feels happy to learn about the system today.
