At the beginning of the school day, doors open from 8.45 a.m and children can enter school from then until registration at 8.55 a.m.

Children must not be left on the playground before this time as there is no available supervision. Teachers will be in the classrooms at 8:45 to welcome pupils in.  Children are encouraged to say goodbye to parents at the classroom door and, once in class, to pass on any letters or monies to the teacher, to choose a new book and to put away their own book bag and lunch box. They may also self register using photographs or names. This is part of their growing responsibility for their own belongings and independence.

Registers are taken at 8.55am.  After this time pupils will be marked as late arrivals, door will be shut and children will need to enter via the main school doors.  At the end of the day, teachers dismiss the children to parents at 3.15 p.m. from their playground.  

If parents are going to be late, or someone different is to collect a child, please would parents notify the class teacher or the office. Without this permission the children will have to wait with their teacher whilst we phone parents to identify who the unknown adult is, even if children know them, as we also need to be comfortable that it is the parents choice for their child to go with the adult.
