The School Day

Our school gates open at 8.35am and our pupils are expected to be in class by 8.45am, ready to start learning.  

Gates are closed at 8.45am

Pupils are late after this time. If your child arrives at school after the gates have shut at 8.45am then an adult MUST accompany pupils into school and sign them in at the main entrance.

Members of staff supervise the children entering school. Parents are not allowed on the school site in the morning. Children may enter the school site via either gate – car park or ‘4 walls’
