School Day

The school day is divided into two sessions:

Morning
8.45am – 12pm (Key Stage 1)
8.45am – 12.10pm (Key Stage 2)

Afternoon
1pm – 3.15pm


Start of the Day

Children should arrive in the school playground from 8.35am onwards.

At 8.45am when the bell is rung, the children stand still. When the whistle blows they walk to collect their belongings and then walk into line.

We encourage children to organise their own equipment in order to develop their independence. The children will be met by their class teacher and enter the school via the classroom doors. We ask that only parents of children in Willow Class should accompany their children into the school, until such time as you feel confident they can come in independently.

The playground door closes at 9am. If you and your child arrive after this time please go to the front entrance, where you will be asked to sign the late arrivals book.

In inclement weather, children can go to the classroom from 8.35am.


End of the Day

School finishes at 3.15pm, with parents/carers waiting in their designated line in the playground. Children leave school via their classroom and are sent directly to their parents by a member of staff; this ensures that if you are late your child is safe within the confines of the school.

If you have made arrangements for your child to go home with a different person than usual, please inform the school by telephone or email.

If your child is attending an afterschool curriculum club they should be collected at the playground door. Most clubs finish at 4.15pm.
