Our School Day and Times

Morning

The school gates are open from 8:45am each morning and close at 8:59am. Parents and carers, if they so wish, can use this time to speak with key staff members, who are situated around the school grounds to manage the safety of the children.

Children are expected to be settled in the classroom before the register closes at 9am.

During 8:45am and 9:00am, 'morning challenge' activities are available for the children to complete in their classroom.

Children arriving after the gates have closed will have to enter school via the main office reception, and they will be marked 'late' in the register.  Those arriving after 9:30am will lose their attendance mark for the morning session.

Afternoon

The school day finishes at 3:30pm (and at the slightly earlier time of 3:20pm for Reception children only).  The total time for all children amounts to 32.5 hours per week.
