The School Day

School starts at 8.40am with a soft start– the children come straight into their classrooms and hang up their coats ready for the school day. The school gates get closed at 8.50am. It is important to be on time.

We finish school at 3.10pm. Please collect your child promptly, the gates open at 3.05pm. The children will be looked after until they are collected by the assigned person. The total time this amounts to in a typical week, including breaks but not after-school activities is 32.5 hours. 

Lunch is from 11.25am until 1.00pm. The lunchtime is staggered over this period, children have 45 minutes to eat their lunch and play with their friends. We encourage active lunches with our aim to Move More! Staff encourage children to play a variety of games such as; Ball skills, basketball, dance, space hoppers, balancing games, climbing and construction activities are just some of the things available. Staff support children to take turns, share and play cooperatively in line with our school values.

Children have the opportunity to carry out their mile run three times a week and have a variety of shorter and longer active breaks throughout the day.
