School Day

Start of the Day The school day starts at 8.55am. Gates open at 8.40am. Children go straight into their classrooms for a ‘soft start’ and should aim to be in for 8.50am ready for registration time, which is from 8.55am until 9.00am.
Morning Playtime Children have a 15 minute playtime in the morning. Playtimes are split: Reception, Y1 and Y2 at 10:30 and Y3, Y4, Y5 and Y6 at 10:45
Lunch Children in the Early Years and KS1 have lunch from 12.00pm until 1.15pm. Children in the Juniors have lunch from 12.30pm until 1.30pm.
Afternoon Playtime Children in the Early Years and KS1 have an afternoon playtime from 2.15pm until 2.30pm. Year 3 have an afternoon playtime from 2.30pm until 2.45pm.
End of the Day The school day ends at 3.30pm. Children in Reception and Year 1 are collected from their classroom. Adults are asked to wait outside and the class teacher will call the child once they have seen the responsible adult waiting for them. Year 2 line up in the Calm Area of the Junior playground and children wait with their class teacher until they have seen and acknowledged the responsible adult who is picking them up. Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 line up in specific places in the Junior playground where they can be collected.

A typical school week therefore adds up to 32 hours 55 minutes (including breaks and lunchtimes but excluding after-school clubs).
