Our arrangements for the start and end of the school day are in place with the aim of keeping children safe.

We encourage families to walk to school. Mrs. Clarke is on crossing patrol duty every day. For those arriving by car, a drop off zone operates in the school carpark from 8.35 am. This is manned by school staff, usually our Assistant Headteacher, Mrs. Mason, and our Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Mrs. Merryman.

We welcome children into school when the gates open at 8.35 am and members of staff are on duty on the gates until they are closed at 8.45 pm.

The school doors open at 8.40 am when we offer supervision until the start of the school day at 8.45 am. It is important that children arrive on time as lessons begin immediately after registration.

All children are welcomed at the school gates by teachers and learning support practitioners. Nursery and Reception children are accompanied into school by staff

Children from Year 1 upwards are encouraged to come into school independently.

Nursery session times are:

• Mornings 8.45am – 11.45 am

• Afternoons 12.15 pm – 3.15 pm

Children can attend for the whole day

 If you have children in two places to collect, please collect your younger child first.

Total school hours per typical school week for all children R-YR6 are 32 hours 55 minutes.

Except for those older children who walk home, children will remain with the teachers until a parent is identified. Children will be allowed to go home only with those adults specified by the parents.

If you are unable to collect your child at the normal time please contact the school office as soon as possible. Children not collected by 3.20pm will be taken to Owls after school club, parents should collect from there.
