We have a ‘soft start’ at the beginning of the school day.  Mrs Marshall welcomes the children by the slope/KS1 door at 8:30am.  Parents are asked to ensure that their children do not arrive in school before 8.30am as they are not supervised before this time. The Reception garden will be open from 8:30am and the doors to the classroom will open at 8:40am to allow the children to enter and start the day.  All other classroom doors will be open at 8:30am and we ask for all children to be seated in their classrooms by 8:40am for registers to be taken at 8:50am.

The lunch break for Nursery is between 11:40 and 12:10pm

The lunch break for Reception and KS1 is between 11.45 and 12.45pm.
