Children arriving at school after 9:00 am will be marked as late in the register. It is essential that children arrive on time for school or they will miss vital learning activities.
All children start the day with an 'Early Morning' activity that can range from 'Jump Start Johnny' routines, talking buddies time, exploring challenges or sharing books. Each year group will have planned activities that support the children with settling into the school day.
In EYFS children have indoor and outdoor play throughout the day and lunchtime from 11:45am-1:00pm
In KS1 children have a 15 minute break in the morning and lunchtime from 12:15pm-1:15pm

The Department for Education has recommended the number of teaching hours for Key Stage 1 need to be sufficient to deliver the National Curriculum.
Reception children will be dismissed from the Reception outside learning area. Year 1 and 2 will be dismissed from the main playground area.
As the safety of your child is paramount, children must be collected from the teacher at the end of the school day, by you, or someone nominated by you. Please be aware that we cannot release children to anyone under the age of 16 even with your authority.
