Our School Day

Our school has three classes for each year group, ranging from Year 3 to Year 6. Each class has their own teacher and a team of staff, including teaching assistants and lunch time supervisors, who work across the school in an effort to ensure every child can ‘Let their light shine’.

School organisation and timetable:

At the start of the day, our school gates open for families from 8:45am to 8:55am. Children can arrive at any time within this timeframe. The gates close at 8:55pm. There are many members of staff who are present to welcome you and offer any support needed. The morning begins with an assembly, some whole-school, some in-class worship and a celebration assembly on a Friday.

Year 6 children will enter via Springhill Road.

At the end of the day our playground gate opens at 3:10pm. The children finish school at 3:20pm. The children will come out of their allocated door. We ask parent and careers to kindly wait behind the blue line on the playground so we can dismiss the children quickly and safely to their. Our gate on Pool street (bottom of playground) will also be open at this time.

With written consent from the parent and the school, a Year 6 pupil may request to walk home without an adult. 

Time in school per day: 6 hours 35 minutes

Time in school per week: 32 hours 45 min

Total days in school per year: 190
 

Lunch:

To provide the children with space and comfort, the children have staggered lunch time. The children have the option to bring in their own packed lunch or to eat a hot dinner from our canteen. All dinners must be pre-booked using our online app School Foods United.

On both playgrounds, there are lunch time supervisors who facilitate games and supervise the children as well as a sports coach who runs a more organised activity for children to engage with. There is a variety of equipment for the children to play with as well as playground markings and a trim-trail. On certain days children also have access to the library.
