School Day

Normally, the school day begins at 8:55am and ends at 3:25pm for KS1 and 3:30pm for KS2. Our gates are open from 8:30am and the playground is supervised by staff from 8:45am. At the sound of the whistle, children are expected to line up ready to start their day of learning. 

Currently, we are staggering the start of the day slightly in order to reduce the number of people on site. The gates open for KS2 children at 8:45 and they are to go straight into school through their class entrance. 

KS1 children are to arrive at 8:55 and they should be delivered to their door where they will go straight in. 

Parents with children in both KS1 and KS2 are invited to arrive at 8:50, dropping KS2 children off at their classrooms on the way round to the KS1 doors. 

Entry to the school is via the front gate and exit through the back. We ask that parents arrive at the specified time to avoid congregating outside the gates/classrooms. Thank you. 

Morning break is 10:40am until 10:55 am for all children; KS1 children are provided with a healthy snack. Afternoon break takes place between 2:15pm and 2:25pm. 

Lunchtime runs from 12:00 until 1:10pm for KS1 and 12:10 until 1:10 for KS2. Lunch is served in two sittings in the hall. 

Children are released from their classrooms at the end of the day by teachers and support staff. Normally this would be at 3:25 for KS1 children and 3:30 for KS2. 

Again, in the current climate, we are staggering the end of the day: our gates are opened at 3:20 for KS1 parents only. Parents who have children in both KS1 and KS2 are invited to arrive at 3:25 and KS2 parents should arrive no earlier than 3:30 when the children will be released from class. 

Wraparound Care 

We offer a breakfast club and after school care for working families. Our extended day runs from 7:45am until 6:00pm and is run by our team of dedicated staff members. Please contact the office for more information
