I would like to take this opportunity to outline the start and end of day procedures for the beginning of the new academic year.
All gates (The Lagger Close, Lower Playground and Main Parsonage Road entrance / front gate) will be unlocked at 8:45am when the first school bell rings. From Parsomage Road gate the school can be accessed via the wooden gate along the path by the main hall or through the main school entrance.
Children attending Breakfast Club or Maths Club will be able to access the school via the Main School entrance from 08:00. (The Main Parsonage Road Gate will be open and access will be via the main school entrance only).
Pupils are expected to make their way to their classrooms when this bell rigs to put away bags and coats, and then read or work quietly under teacher supervision until the second bell at 8:55am. It is important that all children be in class by the second bell, when registration takes place.
Pupils arriving in class after 8:55am will be marked late and should report to the school office to be marked as present. The Lagger Close gate and the gate into the lower school playground from the Hillside Close footpath will be locked at 9am, so the only access for late arrivals will be via the main entrance in Parsonage Road.
Junior Registration is at 8:55am for the start of lessons at 9am. Parents are welcome to come on site but please encourage your child to enter the classroom independently.
At the end of the day, all gates will be unlocked at 3:25pm.
The children will be dismissed at the end of the school day at 3:30pm from the following locations:
Children are to be collected from school by parents or those with parental responsibility. Parents may nominate other adults to collect their child using an After School Pick Up Arrangements form - available on the website here.
At the end of the school day, an adult must collect children from their class teacher. Any children that are not collected from the playgrounds will be taken to the main school office and they can be collected from there. If children are still waiting to be collected after 3:45pm, we will try to contact the child's parent or carer as appropriate.
We politely request that parents do not drive into or park in the staff car park without permission.
A typical school week at the Junior School is 32 hours 55 minutes
