The School Day

Our School Day
 
To support a calm and positive start to the day, our gates open at 8:45am, giving children time to arrive, settle and connect with friends and staff before learning begins. Registration takes place at 8:55am, and we ask that children are in school by this time so they can feel ready and included from the start of the day.
Once in school, children go straight to their classrooms where they are welcomed into purposeful morning learning activities. These may include reading, handwriting, revisiting and improving previous work, or taking part in targeted interventions. This gentle, flexible start helps children feel safe, confident and ready to learn, while ensuring that valuable learning time begins promptly after registration.
 
Registration: 08:55am
Break time: 11:00-11:15am
Lunchtime: 12:15-1:00pm
Assembly: 3.05pm - 3.20pm
End of the Day: 3:25 pm
 

To ensure every child leaves school safely and confidently, children are brought onto the playground at the end of the day and are only dismissed once a member of staff has identified the adult collecting them. This daily handover provides an important opportunity for staff to maintain positive relationships with families and helps create a safe, caring and connected school community. If your child is being collected by a different adult, please let the school office know in advance so that we can support a smooth and secure collection.

Children attending wraparound care with OurTime will be accompanied by staff to the Infant School, where the provision is based.

School-Led Clubs

Our extra-curricular clubs finish at 4:30pm and provide children with valuable opportunities to explore interests, develop new skills and strengthen friendships beyond the classroom. At the end of the session, children will be dismissed by the club leader from the school entrance. We ask parents and carers to wait outside the main gate, helping us ensure a calm, safe and orderly end to the club day.
