Reception Class 7 (Ms Wood) and Nursery Children will use the Nursery Gate for both pick up and drop off.

The school day will start at 8.30am every morning, for all children.

DROP OFF

The KS1 (Years 1 and 2) gates will be open at 8.20 in the morning, and you can drop your children off to wait in the playground.  Staff will be on the gates and in the playground to keep your child safe.  They will then go in at 8.30.  The gates will then close at 8.35 as registration will have finished and children will then be in assembly.

For reception and morning Nursery, the gates will open at 8.30 and close at 8.35.  If you arrive late you will need to take your child through the main playground and through the main entrance.  However, please do your best not to be late as it makes the start of the day difficult for your child.

For Afternnon Nursery gates will be opened at 12.30 and closed at 12.35. If you arrive late you will need to take your child through the main playground and through the main entrance.  However, please do your best not to be late as it makes the start of their session difficult for them.
