TIMINGS OF NORMAL DAY

 

Children are expected to be in school at 8.45am for registration and the school day ends at 3.15pm. Pupils are expected to be at school for 32½ hours per week.

Once the classroom doors open at 8:45am, children are expected to settle and be ready to learn. Classroom doors will close at 8:55am. After this time your child will need to enter via the school office. Any child who arrives after 9:05 will be marked as late in the register. We value a prompt start to the day as it sets the tone for learning and expectations of the day ahead.
