School Day

When they arrive at school, children need time to deal with books, folders, coats, sandwich boxes etc and can be anxious and distressed if they are late.

• We urge you to make every effort to be on time, as late arrivals are very disruptive for teachers and children who have already begun the day.
• Children go into class from the playground  at 8.45am.
• All children must be in their classes and settled by 8.55am, when the school day starts with registration.
• Morning play lasts for 15 minutes. The children have the opportunity to use the trim trail and adventure playground on a rota basis (weather permitting).
• Lunchtime is divided into two  sessions.
• Reception 12.00am - 1.00pm,  Year 1/2  12.30pm - 1.30pm.
• Dinners are served in the hall at 12.00am, 12.30pm  & 1:00pm. Those children having hot meals or sandwiches, eat their lunches together in the hall.
• Children may play outside before or after lunch, or, if it is wet, they will be supervised in the classrooms by the MDSAs.
• The afternoon teaching session is from 1.00pm to 3.15pm for Reception and for Year 1/2  1.30pm  to 3.15pm.
• Children must be collected from school by 3.20pm.
