Our School Day
The school has a Free Breakfast Club which runs from 8.00am until 8.40am every school day in the KS2 Hall. All pupils from Reception to Year 6 are welcome to attend Breakfast Club.
Reception & Key Stages 1 and 2
Every morning staff will be available on the doors to welcome children into school and to communicate with parent/carers.
The school day starts at 8.40am.
The school day ends at 3.30pm on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
On a Thursday the day ends at 2pm for all children.
Weekly Total: 32 hours and 40 minutes
Please ensure your child is on the playground by 8.35am each morning. Children should be supervised before this time and any children coming onto the school site unaccompanied before this time will be escorted to Breakfast Club.
This is a busy time for parents/carers, many of whom have other, younger children with them, so in the interest of safety no games shall be played at these times. Also the trim trails and tyres are out of bounds.
In order to avoid a record of unauthorised absence, it is essential that parents/carers telephone or send a message to inform the school why their child is away eg. sickness etc.
