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 before at 8.45am.
• All children must be in their classes and settled by 8.55am, when the school day starts with registration.
• 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 three  sessions.
• Reception 11.30am - 12.30pm,  Year 1  12.00pm - 1.00pm , Year 2 12.30pm-1.30pm
• Dinners are served in the hall at 11.30am, 12.00pm  & 12:30pm. 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 12.30pm to 3.15pm for Reception, 1.00pm to 3.15pm for Year 1 and 1.30pm  to 3.15pm for Year 2.
• Children must be collected from school by 3.20pm.
