The school day
The school day begins at 8:45am for all pupils when the gates open. Once through the main gates, the children enter and leave the school through one of 5 entrances - Early Years, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Years 4, 5 and 6 (the junior playground gate). The gates stay open for 10 minutes and close at 8:55am to begin registration. We stagger departure at the end of the day in order to avoid congestion with such a large school on our small site. The days run as follows:
8:45 to 8:55: Arrive at school
9:10: Registration closes
12:00 to 13:00: Lunch for Reception, Year 1, 3 and 4
12:15 to 13:15: Lunch for Years 2, 5 and 6
15:10: Finish for Reception children
15:15: Finish for Years 1 and 2
15:20: Finish for Years 3 to 6
The total school week is 32 hours and 5 minutes for Reception, 32 hours and 30 minutes for Years 1 and 2 and 32 hours and 55 minutes for Years 5 and 6.
