The School Day

The school day is structured in the following way…

Morning Routine

Children should arrive at school by 8:50am. The school bell rings at 9:00am. Please make every effort to arrive on time, as punctuality supports calm and settled start to the day.

If your child arrives after 9:00am, please report to the Main Reception Office, where you will be asked to provide a reason for the lateness. A record will be kept.

Collection Procedures:

  •  Nursery children should be collected from the Nursery double doors.
  •  Reception children should be collected from the Early Years gates.

Children in Year 1 to Year 6 will line up in the main playground and should be collected from their class lines.

Please do not allow your child to play on the school premises after dismissal, as there is no supervision available at this time.

All children from Nursery to Year 4 must be collected by a responsible adult—this may be a parent, relative, childminder, or family friend.

Children in Years 5 and 6 may go home on their own if permission has been granted. Parents must complete and sign a consent form, available from class teachers or the school office.

If someone new will be collecting your child, please inform us in advance. If we are unfamiliar with the individual or have any concerns about their suitability, we will request written confirmation from you or contact you directly to confirm their identity.
