School starts at 8:45am and ends at 3.15pm. Please try hard to get your child to school on time and to collect them promptly. If your child is late it is extremely important that you come in via the main reception to let the office staff know your child has arrived.

There are two play times for Year 1, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. During the morning playtime the children can buy a slice of toast for 20p. Please try to send in the correct change.
