Our school day

How long is the school day?

For EYFS classes and Key Stage 1:
Morning session: 8.50am – 12 noon	Afternoon session: 1.00pm - 3.10pm
For Key Stage 2:
Morning session: 8.50am - 12.15pm	Afternoon session: 1.15pm - 3.15pm
All classes start at 8.50am and children should be in their classrooms by that time and ready to start their first activity. To help with this, pupils can enter the school from 8.40am. Children in Key Stage 1 and EYFS must be collected from their classroom at the end of the day.
What if my child is late or absent?
Pupil entrances will be locked at 8.50am. After 8.50am all children will need to go to the main entrance and their name will be entered in the late arrival book. For safety reasons parents will be contacted if a child is frequently late and the matter may be referred to outside agencies if it becomes persistent. On or before the first morning of any illness or absence the school should receive a phone call or letter explaining the absence. If not staff will have to contact you to check that your child is safe. Leave of absence request forms must be completed by a parent if a child needs to be absent other than due to illness. Exceptional circumstances must be detailed explaining why the absence is necessary.
