Timings
School start: 8.15am – School end: 3.15pm (this equates to 32 hours and 55 minutes per week)

Morning
The school gates open at 8.00am. Children arrive between 8.15-8.25 and enter the building via the MUGA. Children arriving late after 8.25am should enter the school via the school office with their parent and be signed in.

Afternoon
Children have a staggered leave time. Pre-school & Reception are to be collected at 3:00pm. Years 1& 2 are to be collected by 3:10pm and Years 3,4,5 &6 are from 3:20pm. Please contact the school at your earliest convenience if you are delayed. If you are late, your child should be collected from the school office. Late collections are monitored and if persistent, a telephone or face-to-face meeting with the Head of School will be arranged. If you are later than 3:30pm, your child will be cared for by Premier Education who will then invoice you accordingly.

Picking children up at the end of the day
We ask that you pick your children up promptly at the end of the day so that teachers are able to continue with their marking, preparation and assessment.
 
If you are unable to pick your child up, please always contact the office giving us information about the person who will pick them up. Our process is as follows:

Regular Pick up
If another person is going to regularly pick up a child, the parents should notify the school office who will add this to their file and notify the class teacher. Parents can also tell their child’s class teacher who will then notify the admin staff. For example, child minders are introduced to us by children’s parents so we know that we can release to them.

Infrequent/one-off
If another person is going to pick up a child on a one-off or infrequent occasion, we ask that the parent call the office to inform the school and a password system is shared. On another one-off occasion, we follow the same process with new password etc. We treat each as a separate ‘giving of permission’.
