On this page you will find useful information regarding daily school routines and procedures.

The school day begins at 8:45am when the register is taken.

The school day ends at 3:15pm.

Our lunch break runs from 12:00 - 12:55pm.

This amounts to a total 32.5 hours per week.

Children in Nursery, Reception and Y1 and 2 (Key Stage 1) should arrive at school no earlier than 8:40am to be met by the teacher or teaching assistant.  At the end of the day, children will be handed over to waiting adults. We politely ask that the children do not play with the equipment set up on the playground for the day's lessons. Thank you.

Children in Y3 - 6 are expected to make their own way from drop off to line up at the classroom door, no earlier than 8:40am and for an 8:45am start. The end of the school day is 3:15pm for all children and again, Y3-6 are expected to make their way to a designated meeting point for their journey home/meet with parents and siblings. 

Children should be collected by adults known to the school. If you need to arrange for your child to be collected by a person not known to us please inform us of this through a phone call to the office. We ask you to provide a password to verify the arrangement in place. Children may be collected by family members over the age of 14 by prior arrangement.

School Uniform

As our learning environment is both indoors and outdoors, we ask that you make sure your child is equipped for these areas at all times of year. Please ensure their clothing is practical and suitable for the seasonal changes.  

We recommend a waterproof jacket and winter clothing for cold weather, a sun hat and protective clothing in the summer months. We ask that sun cream is applied before the children get to school so that they are ready for the day.
