The School Day

The school day begins at 8:50am for all children. However, the school gates/doors will be opened from 08:40am for the children to file into class. The school day ends for everyone at 3:20pm - children from Reception to Y4 will be dismissed through their classroom doors. Children in Y5 and Y6 will be dismissed by their teachers at the top of the yard nearest to the play park. Please visit the 'Year Zones' to find timetables for each year group.

Reception

Reception children don't have a designated playtime on the school yard, as they have continuous access to their very own outdoor area that is open for the majority of the school day.  Reception children go for their lunch at 11:30 and Reception staff eat with the children in our dining hall.  The afternoon session starts at 12:30pm. Reception's school day ends at 3:20pm.
