The School Day

The School operates a three session day, with children being given one morning break and a break for lunch.

Arriving at school – drop off and go

School gates are open for children to be dropped off at the gate 08:30. All gates close promptly at 08:45. All children must be in class for registration at 08:45.There is an opportunity to briefly talk to class teachers in the school playground after school has finished and if you need to discuss any issues with the class teacher in depth, please make an appointment to do so via the school office.It is our policy that parking in the school grounds is strictly for staff only. Parents are not permitted to use the school car park at any time, including for early morning and after school clubs. All parents are reminded that the main school gates form the access route for emergency services and should not be obstructed at any time.

 

Leaving School

Part of our responsibility is to ensure that children leaving school do so safely and in most cases this requires that we direct and observe the departure of children on the playground at the end of the school day.In order to help us safely and effectively manage this process, we ask that parents wait a good distance from the school building. This will allow teachers to bring children onto the playground and have a clear view of waiting parents. Please wait for your child’s class teacher to send your child to you, rather than move toward the remainder of the class, which makes it difficult for us to manage children and identify waiting parents.If you would like to allow your Year 5 or Year 6 child to walk to the pub independently, please complete the permission form.
