School Day

The main pedestrian gates onto the playground open at 8.30am for parents and pupils to wait on the playground for the school doors to open.

Classroom doors open at 8.45am until 8.55am when register is taken. Pupils have a mid-morning break and lunch is at 12.00pm until 12.45pm for Key Stage 1 and 12.50pm until 1.35pm for Key Stage 2.

Key Stage 1 (Early Years Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2) leave for the day at 3.15pm, Key Stage 2 (Year 3-6) finish 5 minutes later at 3.20pm.

The school day equates to:

Lower School 32 hours and 30 minutes per week. 

Upper School 32 hours and 55 minutes per week. 

The hot school meals are provided by Pabulum and are prepared on the premises. Every child in EYFS and Key Stage 1 are entitled to a Universal Free School Meal. The school expects every child in Year R, 1 and 2 to have a hot dinner each day.

Dinners are currently £2.30 per day for Key Stage 2 pupils which can be paid daily or weekly in advance. We have recently introduced an electronic payment and ordering service - log in details are available from the Main Office.

There is a morning break time between 10.45a.m and 11a.m. for which you can provide a drink and healthy snack for your child. We do ask that no fizzy drinks or chocolate are sent for snack time. We provide a piece of fruit/vegetable for the children to have in KS1 through the schools fruit and vegetable scheme run by the government. In Key Stage 2 Tesco's fund a fruit and vegetable scheme for the school to access a range of produce.

There is also a healthy tuck shop that pupils can buy a snack from at breaktimes. 

We encourage children to drink regularly throughout the day, so your child will need to bring in a named flask or bottle of water each day with a sports top to avoid spillages.
