The School Day

Drop off / Pick Up

The school gates open at 8:40am, and the school starts at 8.55am. 

Anyone arriving after the gates have closed 
should come in through the school office.
  

At the end of the day, the children will be brought out to the school gate by a member of staff at 3:15pm (youngest first).

An Average School Day

Each day, the children will have the chance to engage in a broad and balanced curriculum, including a daily commitment to reading and maths. The children have a morning break of 15 minutes,

Lunchtime is an hour and starts at 12pm. The children are fed in sittings in the hall (both hot meals and those that bring lunch together). Years R and 1 eat at 12pm, Year 2 at 12.15pm, Year 3 at 12.20pm and Year 4 at 12.25pm. The children spend 15 to 30 minutes eating and have 30 to 45 minutes play, depending on how quickly they eat.

Afternoon registration is at 1pm. The teacher may also decide that a short afternoon break is necessary to refresh their brains, depending on the nature of their afternoon activities. This, combined with our PE, outdoor learning activiites and OPAL playtimes, encourages a healthy and active lifestyle for our pupils that celebrates the outdoors.

Length of the School Week

As stipulated by the Summer '22 Education White Paper, the school is open 31 hours and 40 minutes per week.  We also have a range of after school clubs. A breakfast club is available through Colehill Nursery.
