Morning Drop Off
Children can arrive at school between 07:15 and 07:45 am. Children should only be dropped off when the main school gates are unlocked at 07:15 and not before. Children can play in the supervised areas until the bell rings at 7.45am. At this point they should go to their designated line up area. School bags and lunch boxes should be left in the line-up area until the bell rings. Unless weather conditions are inappropriate children should not enter the classrooms until escorted by their teacher.
 

Late Arrival
Our School recognises that good punctuality and attendance are important life skills and, as part of our new
Punctuality and Attendance Policy, we are aiming for 90%+ attendance and 95%+ punctuality. Arriving late at school is unsettling for all children and staff. Please ensure that your child arrives in plenty of time. Children arriving after registration will be marked as late. This is a crucial time of day when the register is taken and outline instructions given for the rest of the day. Your support in getting your child to school on time is appreciated.
 

End of Day Collection
Children should be collected in person at the end of the school day (14:30). They will not be allowed to go to the gate or car park alone and must be collected by the parent/ guardian or named individual. Each class teacher will explain where children from that class must be collected.
If you know that you are going to be late, please let us know at school so that we can tell your child and him/she doesn't get anxious. Please note, supervising children that have not been collected means that staff are taken away from their work of school improvement, preparation, planning and assessment.
At the end of the day, both school gates will be open to ease congestion.
Should you need to collect your child within the school day, please inform the class teacher in advance when possible? Please come to Primary Administration in order to collect a permission slip before going to collect your child
