School Hours

School hours are as follows:

Reception to Year Two (Early Years and Key Stage One)

8.45am-3.15pm

Year Three to Year Six (Key Stage Two)

8.50am–3.20pm

In the morning, classroom doors open 10 minutes before the start of the school day to allow children time to enter and settle calmly before learning begins. This means that doors open at 8.35am for children in EY and KS1, and at 8.40am for children in KS2. Doors will close promptly at 8.45am for children in EY and KS1, and at 8.50am for children in KS2. If your child arrives after these times they will be deemed late and will need to sign in at the school office.

All parents/carers must take full responsibility of their child before school and remain with them until the classroom doors open, however we appreciate that some children within years five and six may walk to school. We therefore encourage parents/carers to have conversations with their child about how to behave sensibly and safely upon the school day commencing.

You are required to collect your child promptly at the end of the school day, at either 3.15pm for children in EY and KS1, or 3.20pm for children in KS2. Staff will dismiss the children based on who is listed on their collection list form, in which you will have completed prior to them starting. If you ever need to make any amendments to this list, it is important that you notify us via email ensuring you provide the persons full name and relationship to your child should you be adding anyone. If someone tries to collect your child who is not listed, a member of staff will call you to confirm that your child can be collected by them and will confirm if they can also be added to the collection list. We understand that some children will attend enrichment clubs, to which they will go to at the end of the school day, in which case parents/carers are therefore expected to collect children promptly at 4.15pm.
