The School Day

We  welcome children into school from 8.30am.  The school day starts at 8.45am.  At 8.50am all children take part in whole school assembly or an act of Collective Worship.

Mid morning, all children take a 15 minute break from their learning.  Breaktimes are held on the playground in the winter months, the playground and field in the summer months and in classrooms when it is raining.

Children in Foundation Stage and Years 1 and 2 are provided with fresh fruit or vegetables for a snack. All children are encouraged to bring in a healthy snack for breaktime. Good examples are fruit, vegetable batons or a cereal bar.

Lunches

Lunchtimes are staggered to ensure all pupils have adequate time to eat their lunch and play outside.  Lunch times for the different year groups are as follows

EYFS - 11.45am – 12.45pm

Year 1 & 2 - 11.45am - 12.45pm

Year 3-6- 12.00pm – 1.00pm

If you would like your child to have a school dinner, payment can be made using our SCOPAY online payment facility, as well as by debit/credit card at the front desk.

School meals are cooked on site but are provided through Caterlink, a private company with which we have a service level agreement. The current menu can be found under the Parent Info tab and paper copies can be obtained from the Main Reception Desk.

Packed Lunches may be brought in from home. A sensible lunch box might include –

• Sandwich/wrap/roll/pasta dish
• Single packet of crisps/cheddars
• Fruit/ Veg sticks
• Yogurt
• Cereal bar/single biscuit bar 

Afternoon sessions start directly after lunch and school finishes at 3.15pm for KS1 and KS2 and 3.10pm for FS. 

Should you wish for your child to arrive earlier in the morning, we run a Breakfast Club from 7.45-8.30am. Children are also able to attend our Stay and Play after hours childcare facility throughout the week, from 3.15-5.45pm.. 

The typical school week amounts to 32.5 hours.
