Our School Day

The school day starts at 9am and finishes at 3:30pm which amounts to 32.5 hours per week. Registration starts at 9am and ends at 9:15am.

Worships

We have a daily act of worship either first thing in the morning or at the end of the school day. On Wednesdays we walk the children to Church for our weekly service and once every half term, these are family services when parents attend. Every Friday afternoon we have Celebration Worship for pupils; parents are warmly invited to attend.

Morning Playtimes

Children have a morning break from 10:30 to 10:50am. Healthy snacks are encouraged to be eaten at break time. Children may bring in a ‘pocket toy’ to play with at playtimes. This encourages co-operative and imaginative play amongst boys and girls. A toy must be able to fit in a ‘pocket’. The school also provides large outdoor equipment for the children to play with as well.

Lunch

All children have their lunch at 12:15pm, then go out to play until 1:15pm.

Lunches are eaten in the Hut (Village Hall), supervised by our helpful and friendly lunchtime supervisors. Hot school meals are provided by Local Food Links and costs £2.40 per meal. Currently, meals can be ordered via the school office or online via Local Food Links website. Parents may of course also choose to send their child to school with a healthy packed lunch each day.

Each class will have an opportunity to do the Daily Mile to keep up that Proud to be Active feeling!

Drop-off and collection

The playground is open to parents at the beginning and end of the day.  From 8:45am the playground is supervised and parents may ‘drop off’ their children. Class teachers are available to talk to before and after school unless they are responsible for a club. This helps to build up a close relationship between home and school – we want to have good links with all parents. If normal arrangements have to be altered (e.g. you are delayed or another person is collecting your child) please let us know. This avoids any confusion or upset.

Getting to School

Limited parking is available in front of the school, but the village ‘Three Horseshoes pub’ has kindly given permission for parents to use their car park at drop off and pick up times.
