School times
Start of Day
- Gates open at 8:35am & close at 8:50am
- Reception will enter via their gates
- Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5 & Y6 will enter by main gate on Bowen Drive
- Parents will not enter the playground unless they need to speak to the office
- Parents / Carers will continue to say goodbye outside the gates
Senior leaders will continue to be at both the back and front gates at the beginning of the day should you need to speak to anyone.
In the morning parents will continue to leave their children at the gates to ensure a swift and purposeful start to the school day. Teachers plan early morning work from 8.35am so we would strongly encourage parents to get their children here for 8.35am so they maximise their learning time. Often Teachers work one to one with children during this time, giving them feedback and next steps or helping them with misconceptions from the previous days learning.
If your child is late you must register at the office. Thank you for your support in ensuring that children arrive on time.
