Lunchtime arrangements

The lunch period for the whole school will be from 12:00 – 1:05. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children will have their lunch in the first half and their break in the second half. Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will have their break in the first half and their lunch in the second.

At the end of the school day

The school playground gates re-open at 3:10pm, teachers will lead the children into the playground.

We politely request that parents/carers leave the school site as quickly as possible at the end of the school day. For safeguarding purposes, it is much easier for staff to ensure that all children have been collected, have permission to walk home and have left the school site, or are at after school clubs/ Sammy's den when the playground is clear and we are then able to lock the school gates again.
