School Day

The school is open from 8.30am until 3.25pm daily (although wrap-around care is available)wrap-around care This equates to 32.5 compulsory hours in a typical week.

Starting the school day

Children should arrive between 8.30 - 8:45am. They should enter the school via the garden gate which is opened and supervised between 8.30 - 8:50am. The front entrance is for parents and visitors only. The school day officially starts at 8.45am and all children are in school for at least 32.5 hours a week.

Please use the Village Car Park next to the school and use the footpath through the recreation ground to access the children’s entrance. In view of the narrow nature of Vicarage Lane please avoid walking in the lane or using the front door of the school, if at all possible.

Collection at the end of the school day

In the interests of safeguarding, children will be released by their class teacher from one of the external doors that lead onto the playground; class finish times will be slightly staggered to avoid congestion:

Reception class, Year 1 and Year 2 will leave via the double doors in the infant block.

Year 3 and Year 6 will leave from the single door behind our Year 6 classroom.

Year 4 and Year 5 will leave from the double doors at the back of the school hall.

Speaking with your child's teacher

We always welcome communications between Parents and Staff. During the course of the school year, open evenings are held to give staff an opportunity to discuss children’s progress with parents and view work in classrooms. Interviews take place in a confidential situation. Parents are always welcome to make an appointment via the office to see the Headteacher or a member of staff should problems arise at other times.

We ask your co-operation in ensuring that appointments are made in advance. If there is a pressing problem requiring instant attention, please see the Headteacher.
