The first bell rings at 8.35am and the classroom doors are opened. If it is raining heavily, the doors will be opened early where possible!
The Second bell rings at 8.40am by which time all children should be in school. Classroom doors are locked at 8.45am and children arriving late should sign in at the main school Office. Any children late to school should be accompanied by an adult, to explain the reason for lateness.
KS1 and 2 children should be encouraged to enter the cloakrooms by themselves, unless staff specify workshops or opportunities to support children in morning activities. Generally speaking, staff in most year groups begin to take children for learning opportunities at 8.40am and we try very hard to foster an 'independent, I can' attitude from the beginning of the day! Morning Activity time is taken up by staff taking the register and lunch menu options, as well as recapping on key prior learning in Reading, Writing and Maths basic skills. All of this has to be done before 9am, when we have assembly every day.
Children in FS2 classes have 1 hour and 15 minutes for lunch (first dinners - 11.45-1pm); children in KS1 classes have 1 hour for lunch (12-1pm) and children in KS2 classes have 45 minutes for lunch (12.15-1pm).
All classes from Reception - Y6 begin afternoon learning at 1pm.
Parents are politely asked NOT to arrive on school site before 3pm when collecting their children and are also asked to wait away from the classroom doors/windows until the bell rings at 3.15pm. If parents arrive earlier, it can put the children off their learning in Early Years as the locked playground gate is right next to their outdoor learning environment - please be very mindful of this. Also, it can impact on PE which may be taking place in the Courts, or outdoor learning in the Nature Reserve. Please also note that when the classroom windows are open, conversations can be heard in the classroom which disrupts the class!
