Our School Day
Ensuring every child is safe, happy and ready to learn is our priority. Good attendance includes arriving on time each day, helping children settle quickly into learning and ensuring they do not miss important teaching. Punctuality is also essential for safeguarding and supervision.

- School day: 8:45am to 3:15pm (32.5 hours per week)

Children arriving after 8:50am must enter through the main reception and be signed in by a parent or carer. Arrivals after 9:15am without a valid reason will be recorded as an unauthorised absence.
Nursery
