The School Day

(September 2024)

The school day begins at 8.30am.

It is vital that your child attends school regularly and on time. Children should arrive in good time between 8.20am (gates open), 8.30am (class doors open) and gate closes 8.40am. 

Registers close promptly at 8.45am.

Children who arrive after this time must report to the main office and are marked late. A guide to school attendance is available on request.

The start of the day

At the start of the school day supervision in classrooms is provided from 8.30am. We do not invite parents into classroom corridors in the morning. This ensures pupils’ safety and enables a prompt start to lessons. Messages can be communicated to class teachers via staff members on door duty or via the school office. Teachers are available to talk at 3.15pm every day.

Break and lunch

• Break time for Years 1-6 is 10:30am until 10:45am.  
• Lunchtime for Nursery starts at  11.30am and ends at 12.00pm. 
• Lunchtime for Reception and KS1 starts at 11.45am and ends at 12.45pm.
• Lunchtime for KS2 starts at 12.00pm and ends at 1.00pm.
• All children in key stage one and key stage two have an hour lunch break. 

The end of the day

The school entrance opens at 3.10pm. Children are brought by their class teachers on to the main playground (KS1) or released from their classroom door (lower KS2) where they are collected by their parents or carers. It is important to be punctual when picking up your child.

Children can become distressed when everyone else has gone. It is important that pupils are clear about collection arrangements with your child.
Pupils who are not collected on time stay with their class teacher and are then brought to the school office area for late collection.

Collection at the end of school

The Academy day ends at 3:15pm for all pupils.

Children in Year 5 and 6 are allowed to walk home alone at the end of the day with parents permission.

Children in Year 4 and below need to be collected by an adult over the age of 16 who is on the class collection list. Please ensure that any changes to who can collect your child are reported to the office as soon as possible. For safeguarding reasons, pupils will only be released to adults who are on the collection list.
