In spanish it is 'Doble jornada', because it is normal to stay till middday (Jornada Simple), but when children stay double turn? When they have lunch at school and all that?
Thank you for your collaboration.

ah but the school system itself is the difference here.
In many countries (especially hot ones for some reason) the schools will run two completely separate shifts; one from 7am to lunch, and one in the afternoon finishing early evening. It's totally different kids in each slot. I don't know of an English speaking country that does that, so we don't have a word for it. School day would be something like 9am to 3.30pm; all the kids are there for all that time, and we just call it a normal day.
There aren't necessarily any more hours in a kid's school day, but you don't get quite as much use out of the building.

We don't start school until 9am and we usually go on to 3.30pm (15.30hrs) so that is a normal Full school day. If children are able to goto school before then some of the phrases that can be used are, "Before School Club" and "Breakfast club", after 3.30pm is just that, "After school club". Some schools (more these days) have actual activities like chess or sports of some kind.

It is normal to stay all day as most people have said. Most schools go from about 9 am to 15.30 (half past three to us ) or 16.00 (four o'clock to us), but we don't usually start at 8.am. There isn't a special word as it's just a 'school day' .
We don't need a siesta here at midday as it.s too bloody cold!!

We call it part time if they are only staying til dinner and fulltime school if they are staying all day where I live!!
This because in their reception year if their birthday is a
after 28 February they are only allowed to stay until dinner and then in the Easter term they start fulltime permanently

The standard school day for juniors is 9hoo til 15h00,
Secondary schools, 9h00 - 16h00.
I've never heard of an expression other than 'a school day'.

They talk about "full time" education. That is normal for schools to operate from morning to afternoon in the UK

Just a "full day" school
It is normal, not a double day, for us, except for kindergarten.
