Our School Day
Our school week is 32.5 hours made of five days of 6.5 hours each.
Our day begins with a five minute ‘soft start’. The doors are open from 8.40 to 8.45am so that the children can come calmly into school. Registers are taken and submitted by 8.55am. Children arriving after this time will be marked as late. Lateness after 9.10am is recorded as an unauthorised late mark.
Our school day ends at 3.15pm. 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.
Our school day is staggered to begin and end five minutes before the Junior School to help parents with older siblings.
