A Reminder of Our School Morning Routines
-
8:35 latest: gates open. Key Stage 2 children may go to their playground as soon as there is an adult near the kitchen door. Children on the Key Stage 1 playground must be supervised by their grownups until the bells go.
-
8:45: bells go and children line up with their classes.
If you arrive after the bell, please say goodbye at the gate. Children will be directed to an adult at the entrance to their building to have their name noted down so that registers can be double checked. KS2 children should NOT go round to their playground when late as they will not be able to get into school.
-
8:50: gates close. Please ensure all adults have left school grounds by this time. If you arrive later than this, you will need to use the front entrance and sign in at reception.
Please remember:
-
If you need to speak to a teacher, please do so at the end of the day or leave a message with the office. In the morning, staff need to focus on providing children a calm and settled start to the day.
-
When rain is heavy, children in KS1 and KS2 go into the hall straight away. EYFS children will go to their classrooms.
-
The EYFS play equipment and the Pirate Ship should not be used before or after school.
-
The school car park is strictly for staff use only.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation which supports us in giving our children the best start to their day.
