The school day begins at 8.50am and children and families are welcomed at the door or in the classroom by a member of staff. In the Foundation Stage parents are encouraged to bring their children into the classroom while their child settles.
This also gives adults time to talk, share information and build relationships. As the children become more independent in Key Stage One they often come into classrooms independently and parents can initially help children with reading book selections.
Lunchtime is at 12pm until 1.15pm for Key Stage One and 12pm until 1pm for Foundations Stage. Meals are free (except for the nursery) and can be selected on a daily basis. Children can go home for lunch but need to be signed in and out at the office.
The day ends at 3.20pm when parents are again encouraged to speak to teachers and staff when they collect their children.
The school week amounts to a total of 32 hours and 30 minutes in a typical week.
