School times

When they arrive at school, children need time to deal with books, folders, coats, sandwich boxes etc and can be anxious and distressed if they are late. We urge you to make every effort to be on time, as late arrivals are very disruptive for teachers and children who have already begun the day.

We invite children into their classrooms from 8.50am. All children must be in their classes and settled by 9.00am, when the school day starts with registration.

Morning play lasts for 15 minutes. The children have the opportunity to use the trim trail and adventure playground on a rota basis.

Lunch is from 12.00pm to 1.10pm. Lunchtime is divided into two sessions. Hot dinners are served in the hall from 12.00pm to 12.25pm. Children having sandwiches eat their lunches at approximately 12.25pm.

Arrangements will vary according to the number of children having hot lunches. Children may play outside after lunch, or, if it is wet, they will be supervised in the classrooms by the MDSAs.

The afternoon teaching session is from 1.10pm to 3.05pm. Children must be collected from school by 3.10pm.
