  5. School Day

School Day

Our school week is 32.5 hours long in line with government expectations to have a standardised length of the school day for all pupils in our country.

We have a Breakfast Club which opens on site from 7.45am and is accessed via the booking system on ParentPay. Please contact school for more details.

Our school day starts at 8.45am. The school gates will open just before 8.45am to enable children to be in their classrooms and ready to learn at 8.45am. Children are dropped off at the school playground gates or the KS2 classroom gates and go straight into class to complete their morning activities. School gates will be locked just after 8.45am. Children will be classified as ‘late’ from 8.50am.

A typical school day consists of a morning session of core subjects such as English and Maths, with a whole school assembly where we share our vision PSHE and aims through our themed assemblies. We have a mid-morning playtime and a snack time consisting of fruit (free for KS1) and milk for those who take up the milk option. Our lunchtime starts at 11.45 for Reception and 12 O’clock for KS1 & KS2. The afternoon sessions consist of other curriculum areas and theme-based learning including PE and Forest Schools.

The end of our school day is 3.15pm.

Wraparound Club 

We have an extended schools provision – a Wraparound care service which is open onsite daily from 3.15 until 5.45pm and is bookable in advance. Please see the school office for details.

There are a variety of lunchtime clubs available including  choir, chess, lego and homework club.

We also offer after school activity clubs, for example, cookery, mini medics and multi sports please contact the school office for more information and a booking form.

Clubs & After School

Punctuality is important both for the child and the teacher. Please ensure that your child arrives at school at 8.45am ready to learn. A child arriving at school after this time will be recorded officially as late. Our Education Welfare Officer will contact parents if they, or the school, have any concerns about attendance or lateness. The Education Welfare Officer visits the school once every half term and works closely with school to ensure that all children are receiving their educational entitlement. As is the case with attendance, persistent lateness is recorded & reported to Local Authority. Attendance is also recorded and analysed nationally.
