The School Day
8:35am: The School Gates Open. If it is raining, the children are allowed to enter school early. Any messages can be passed on to a member of staff on the school doors.
8:45am: The school day starts promptly. Class teachers have opened the classroom doors and welcomed the children into class.
If you arrive after 8:45am the school gates may be locked. They will need to enter via the main office so that we can register them. We have excellent punctuality and work with families to maintain this.
10:45 / 11:00 / 11:15am All children have a morning break of 15minutes. The timing of this varies from year group to year group to ensure maximum use of the school grounds is utilised. Children may bring a snack of a fresh piece of fruit of vegetables to enjoy at break time. (Wetplay - During wet playtime the children remain in their classroom and are offered a range of wet play activities.)
11:30am / 11:45am / 12:00pm / 12:15pm Children may have a school lunch or bring a packed lunch. The timing of lunch varies from year group to year group.
12:30pm 12:45pm/ 1pm/1:15pm The class registers are completed for afternoon sessions.
3:15pm The end of the school day. At 3.05pm gates are opened for parents/ grandparents to arrive for pick up, waiting on the school playground. At the end of the school day, teachers accompany their class to the exits onto the playground where parents/ grandparents can collect their child/ children. Teachers (Year R-4) must ensure that every child is collected by an adult. Children are only allowed to go with other adults, if the teacher or school office have been informed. Children who are not collected should be asked to wait by the school office under the supervision of their class teacher. Please call the office to let us know if you are going to be late so we can reassure your child. Children in Y5 and 6 may walk home independently from school but only if school has received written parental consent.
Children who leave school during the day e.g. dental appointment must be collected by a parent, adult or other authorised person. Parents must come to the main office to collect children who are leaving school during school hours. The child must be signed out in the book in the school office. We ask for confirmation of medical appointments.
Total hours per week: 32 hours and 30 minutes.
