This is the list of documents available for the submission By Bailie Dr Nina Baker:- "Council notes that academic research has found that teenagers require a different sleep pattern to either younger children or full grown adults, in order to work optimally. A waking up time of 7am for a teenager is the equivalent of a 5am wake up call for an older adult. The normal school start time of 9am means that many or most teenagers arrive at school much more tired than their teachers, with proven bad results for memory and learning. UK schools which have experimented with a school day starting at 10am for teenagers have found that the youngsters achieved higher grades. Council therefore resolves that a report is brought to a relevant policy development committee, looking into the practicalities and benefits of such a timetable change, with a view to considering if an experimental project could be undertaken in one or more city secondary schools.".
