General Information

Session times                                                                   

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.

 

Absences

If your child is absent please ring the school office in the morning to let us know the reason. The school telephone number is 01922 710874.

 

Play times and Dinner time

At lunch time the children will eat their packed lunch or school dinner in the dinner hall with other children.  Once your child has finished their lunch they will get the opportunity to play with the Year 2 children. 

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. 

 

Fruit   

We encourage healthy eating and ensure your child is given a daily choice of fruit free of charge for under 7 year olds.
