School Day
The school day is 8.45am (morning registration time) to 3.15pm (official end of the compulsory school day) and the total time this amounts to in a week is 32.5 hours.
Free Breakfast Club
Free Breakfast Club opens at 8.15am in the school hall to give children a soft start to the day, helping them feel ready to learn. Children will be taken to their classrooms for the start of the school day at 8.45am.
Classroom doors open 8.30am
Doors open early to allow children to go straight to their classrooms and be settled and prepared for the start of the school day at 8.45am. Children should not arrive before 8.30am unless they are attending Paid or Free Breakfast Club.
Late arrivals, after 8.45am, should report to the main school office. We monitor attendance closely and expect all children to attend school regularly and arrive punctually.
Morning break 10.30 to 10.45am
During this time, children may eat a healthy snack from home.
Lunch break 12.00 to 12.50 pm
All children have lunch break at the same time. Reception children go to the dining hall a little earlier at the start of the year to help them adapt to school routines and give them a little longer to eat.
