The School Day
Children should arrive at school no later than 8:45am. The gates are opened at 8:30am to allow children to access the site and the yard is staffed from this time on in case of any emergencies.
If for any reason your child will not arrive for 8:45am, the office should be informed.
Unless your child is attending an after school club, school closes at 3:00pm so you can either collect you child at this time or they can walk home as per your planned arrangements.
Currently, our school day runs as follows:
|
07:40 |

Please note that we will be reviewing our school day (currently 31.25 hours a week) in line with the national guidance and considering the proposed changes of 32.5 hours from September 2023. Any changes will be done in co-ordination with our infant feeder school to support our families collecting children from both sites.
