School Day

When they arrive at school, children need time to deal with books, folders, coats, sandwich boxes etc and can be anxious and distressed if they are late.

• We urge you to make every effort to be on time, as late arrivals are very disruptive for teachers and children who have already begun the day.
• Children go into class from the playground  at 8.45am.
• All children must be in their classes and settled by 8.55am, when the school day starts with registration.
• The school day starts at 8:45am and ends at 3:15 pm, lasting about 6 hours and 30 minutes each day, which adds up to a total of 32.5 hours per week.
• Morning play lasts for 15 minutes. The children have the opportunity to use the trim trail and adventure playground on a rota basis (weather permitting).
• Lunchtime is divided into two  sessions.
• Reception & RB 12.30-1.00pm  and KS1  1-1:30pm
• Dinners are served in the hall at 12.30pm  & 1:00pm. Those children having hot meals or sandwiches, eat their lunches together in the hall.
• Children may play outside before or after lunch, or, if it is wet, they will be supervised in the classrooms by the MDSAs.
• The afternoon teaching session is from 1.30pm to 3.15pm
• Children must be collected from school by 3.20pm.
