I certainly didn't get any allocated free periods in Years 10/11, but I ended up ditching Games (P.E) in favour of doing the Dual Award for Media Studies - most of my time was spent pissing about if there were others present, and updating NEB's fleet lists if there wasn't!
We got P.S.H.E which was basically a free towards the end.
For me, in Year 12, you get 16 hours teaching time + 1hr P.E + 1hr Enrichment, meaning you usually get 7hrs worth of free periods. My English lessons clash with P.E, so I get an extra free period compared to everyone else.
In Year 13, you get 12 hours teaching time, 1hr Enrichment and no P.E - meaning that you get 12hrs worth of free periods. My school's 'traditional times' (ie 9am-4pm) assist in the extra hours of free periods though.

Ah you have to take PE in Y12 too
