The School Day
The school day begins at 8:50 for all children and ends at 3.20pm. The doors are open between 8.40 and 8.50 for children to come into school.
Nursery and Reception
Nursery and reception children don't have a designated playtime on the school yard, as they have continuous access to their very own outdoor area that is open for the majority of the school day. Nursery children go for their lunch at 11:40 and Reception at 11.50.
Key Stage One
Children in Years One and Two have play time from 10:30 until 10:45 each day. For Year One and Year Two have lunch from 12pm and begin their afternoon session at 1pm.
Key Stage Two
Children in Years Three to Six also have play time from 10.30 until 10.45 each day and lunchtime from 12pm to 1pm. Key Stage Two children (years 3,4,5 and 6) have lunch on a rota either at 12pm or 12.30.
