The School Day
The school day is structured as follows:
Infants (Reception/KS1)
8.45am to 12.15pm
1.15pm to 3.15pm
Juniors (KS2)
8.45am to 12.15pm
1.15pm to 3.15pm
Children can enter their classrooms from 8.45am.
Attendance
We aim to encourage children to have good attitudes towards school and work. By giving children a sense of self discipline and pride we believe that they will learn life skills. Parents can help us by ensuring that children arrive at school in good time and are well prepared to begin the day.
Schools now have to report authorised and unauthorised absences and it is a legal requirement that the reasons for children’s absences are entered in the register, for example holiday or medical. We ask parents to notify school on the first day of any absence. A written note, confirming the reason for absence, should be sent to school when your child returns. We recommend that appointments for medical examinations are made outside of school time if at all possible.
Parents are discouraged from taking holidays in term time and authorisation is given at the Headteacher’s discretion. Request forms are available from the school secretary, to be returned to the Headteacher.
Attendance Award
It is vital that children are in school and on time every day in order to achieve their full potential – 5 minutes late every day means that over a year a child will have lost 3 ½ days of learning opportunities!! Our school day begins at 8.45am and ends at 3.15pm.
To encourage improved attendance levels, we have introduced exceptional attendance assemblies each term. Every child who achieves 97% or above attendance during a term, will be awarded with an Attendance Certificate and be entered into the attendance assembly raffle.
Breakfast Club
From 7.45am – 8.45am
Children MUST be booked into breakfast club in advance and there will be a charge of £1.30 per session per child. The booking form must be completed on a weekly/termly basis. This form MUST be sent back into school by THURSDSAY morning and include payment. This will ensure your child has a place at breakfast and we meet Safeguarding and Health and Safety regulations regarding ratios of staff to children.
Children will be provided with cereal, toast and a drink and activities will be provided for the children to take part in once they have eaten their breakfast, until the start of the school day.
The club is run by paid members of staff and we need to ensure that breakfast club remains sustainable for all children and parents.
