Our School Day
Timings of the School Day
The school gates open at 8.40am and children should be in class ready to learn by 8.45am. Our school day ends at 3.15pm for all children (in Nursery this is for our full time pupils). Children who arrive after the school gates have closed at 8.45am should be bought to the school office by a parent or carer.
Nursery children (Owlets) should enter by their classroom door (close to the main reception), where they will be met by our Nursery staff.
Please note: Children who stay all day in Nursery (those eligible for the 30 hour provision) need to bring a packed lunch which is eaten in the Nursery classroom. Lunch is from 11.45am to 12.45pm.
Session times for our part time children in Nursery are:
8.45 – 11.45 am. Children attending the morning session should be collected by parents from the Nursery classroom door.
In Early Years (Snowy and Tawny Owls) children should enter through their classroom doors at 8.40am, where they will be met by our Reception staff.
Lunch time: 12.00 - 1.15pm.
At lunch time, children in Snowy and Tawny classes eat their lunches in the hall. Children in reception are entitled to a universal infant free school lunch.
At the end of the day, children in EYFS are released by a member of staff from their classroom doors that access directly onto the foundation garden. Children are only released when staff have seen their familiar adult. Any changes to pickup should be notified to the child's class teacher or school office. A password system ensures that children are picked up by authorised adults only.
