A School Day

The School Day in Brief

 

Our school day runs from 8:50am to 3:20pm which over the 5 days from Monday to Friday equates to 32.5hrs per week.

 

Morning

 

Children can arrive at school between 8:40am and 8:50am. We do ask that children do not arrive before this time and this is especially the case for older children who may be arriving at school on their own.

 

At 8:40am, the children will be able to enter the school either by the KS2 door from the main playground (for all year 3 - 6 children) or directly via their classroom doors for all EYFS and KS1 children (Nursery - year 2).  After 8:50am, children will only be allowed to enter the school through the school office, once they are signed in late by a member of the office staff.

 

During the morning session the children will have a 15 minute break.

 

Lunch Time

 

All children will receive a 60 minute lunch break between 12:00pm and 1:30pm.  This allows us to operate 3 sittings in the hall and provides 30 minutes eating time and 30 minutes playtime.

 

Afternoon Session

 

The younger children in EYFS and KS1 will finish their morning at 12:00pm and start back in the afternoon at 1:00pm.  They will also have a second 15 minute break in the afternoon. 

 

The KS2 children finish their morning session at 12:30pm and start back at 1:30pm.

 

Our school day concludes at 3:20pm. Please note that children may only be collected by the parents/carers listed on our school database, unless we receive communication from you to confirm otherwise. For safeguarding purposes we will not release a child to someone other than their usual parent/carer without prior notification.
