The playground will be open to pupils from 8.40am.  

Children can arrive at school between 8.40am and 8.50am. They can walk directly to their classrooms and enter. All year groups enter and leave via the gate at the top of the main playground.

Each day begins with a period of registration. Any children who arrive after 8.50am should report to the school office.

At the end of the day, parents come into the playground for a 3.15pm pick up from directly outside the classroom door. The class teacher will ensure that each child is collected by the appropriate adult. Children in Year 5 and above are encouraged to walk part of the way to and from school independently.
