The School Day

For Reception-Year 6 pupils, there is a soft start from 8.45-8.55am allowing children to head straight to class without having to wait to line up. It gives their teachers time to check in with each child individually and see how they are feeling at the start of the day.

 

8.55am is the official start to the day when the register is taken. Both the Nursery/Reception gate and the KS1/KS2 gate are closed promptly at this time. After this your child will need to enter through the middle gate for the office to register them. They are recorded as late.

 

Children who have not been collected on time sit with a member of staff while they wait for us to contact you and you to arrive.
