Topic outline

  • School day and calendar

    The school day runs from 9.20am to 3.20pm.  At the start of the day children will be collected by staff at the green gate to the left of the building, looking at the main entrance.  Similarly parents, carers and transport staff will collect children at the same gate for going home.

    Lunchtime is 12pm to 1pm, with half an hour for playtime and half an hour for lunch.  Almost all children take their lunch in the hall, which is an important shared dining opportunity to develop their personal and social skills.

    All classes have a morning break and healthy snack.  An afternoon break may also be planned by a teacher according to the needs of the children in their class.
