School hours & late attendance

What times does school start and finish?

For Reception children and Year 1, the class doors are opened at 8.50am, at which point children can enter the classrooms. At 3.10pm, class doors are opened for adults to collect their child from the classroom. Please leave buggies outside when entering the school.

For KS1 (Year 2) & KS2 (Years 3-6), children can come straight into the classroom between 8.50am to 9.00am. KS1 finish and come out to the playground for collection at 3.20pm. Teachers in Year 2 will release children once the adult is identified.

Please inform the school if a different adult is collecting your child.

KS2 finish and come out to the playground for collection at 3.20pm.

What happens if my child is late?

If your child arrives after the rest of their class has gone inside with their teacher, they will need to register at the school office. This is really important so that we have a record that your child is in the building!

When registering at the school office, your child will order their school dinner. You will need to sign them in, giving a reason for being late. We understand that, at times, everyone can be late due to unavoidable circumstances. For persistent lateness you may be contacted by the school and called to a meeting with our attendance team.
