School Opening Hours
Below is a helpful reminder of some key information regarding our start and end of day routines.
It is a bit of a military operation getting everyone on and off site, given the number of pupils we have and the small entrances/ exits. It is a key priority to ensure that we get all of our children, especially the youngest, safely into class each morning and safely back to parents and carers at the end of each school day. We continue to be dependent on the co-operation of parents and carers in this important health and safety matter.
If your child is in Year 5 or Year 6, please arrange a regular place outside the KS1 school gate to meet your child at the end of the school day.
Our School Day times are as follows:
Reception and Key Stage 1
