As the Bell Rings is a 2007–2008 Disney Channel UK original interstitial program.
The format is a selection of short live-action comedy sequences.
It is a British adaptation of the Disney Channel Italy original series Quelli dell'intervallo.
It follows the adventures of a number of students at Shakespeare High School, who use their school break to sort out problems with life and love, friends and foes, home and homework.
The show was originally intended to be shown on Disney Channel's rival network Nickelodeon UK under the working title Break Kids; however, this never happened and the original episodes using the working title were quickly aired on Disney Channel prior to the show's official start.
