School Day Arrangements
Our school gates and classroom doors open at 8:40am and remain open until 8:50am. Children should arrive during this ten-minute period and go straight into their classrooms, where they will be welcomed by their teaching staff.
Mr Mitchell, the Headteacher, or another member of the Senior Leadership Team will usually be available on the playground at morning drop-off to help ensure a smooth and welcoming start to the day.
The compulsory school day begins at 8:50am and finishes at 3:20pm, providing a 32.5-hour school week.
Typical School Day
The timetable below provides an overview of a typical school day. Timings may occasionally vary to accommodate curriculum activities, special events or other opportunities.
Registration and Punctuality
Registers are taken twice each day: during morning registration from 8:50am and again at the beginning of the afternoon session at approximately 1:00pm.
Children are expected to be in school and ready for registration by 8:50am. The gates close at this time. If your child arrives after 8:50am, they should enter school through the main office so that their arrival can be recorded correctly.
The morning register closes at 9:05am. A child arriving after this time will normally be recorded as an unauthorised absence for the morning session (Code U) unless another appropriate attendance code applies.
If you know that your child is going to be late, please contact the school office and provide the expected arrival time and reason for the delay.
Reporting an Absence
If your child is unable to attend school because of illness or another unexpected reason, please contact the school as soon as possible on the first morning of absence, giving the reason for their absence.
Where a reason for absence has not been provided, the school will contact parents or carers as part of its first-day absence procedures. Unexplained absences will be followed up promptly in line with our Attendance Policy and safeguarding procedures. This is consistent with current statutory attendance guidance, which expects schools to identify unexplained absences and contact families where a reason has not been provided.
For further information about attendance and punctuality, please see our Attendance Policy.
