Our School Day
Our day begins with a ‘soft start’. At 8.45am the bell is rung and the doors opened so that the children can come calmly into school.
Registers are taken at 8.55am. Children arriving after 9.00am will be marked as late.
| Key Stage | Session | Times |
|---|---|---|
| EYFS (Reception) | Morning | 8.55am to 12.15pm |
| Afternoon | 1.05 to 3.05pm | |
| KS1 (Years 1 and 2) | Morning (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri) | 8.55am to 12.30pm |
| Afternoon (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri) | 1.20 to 3.10pm | |
| Morning (Wed) * | 8.55am to 12.15pm | |
| Afternoon (Wed) * | 1.05 to 3.10pm |
At the end of the day staff hand over the children to their parents in the playground. Children are not allowed to leave the site unless a parent or other known adult (18 years or over) is there to collect them.
- Reception children should be collected at 3.05pm each day (31 hours and 40 mins).
- Key Stage 1 children should be collected at 3.10pm each day (32 hours and 5 mins).
* Note: Wednesdays are known as ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ and the KS1 lunchtime break matches EYFS on that day.
