The School Day

Picture
The school day begins with welcoming all who wish to come to Family Breakfast Club.

Before school begins, parents are encouraged to come in for a chat, or share a concern.

Registration is at 9:00 and the registers are closed by 9:10.  It is essential that all children are registered, and so if they are late, they must let the office, or their teacher know that they have arrived.

Lessons begin at 9:30, after the registration time when children will be involved in reading activities, See Think Wonder time, spelling, or interventions such as Talk4Number or Growth Mindset.

There are two lessons before break time at 11:20. To ensure that no child is too hungry to learn, hot buttered bagels are offered during break time.

There is another lesson before lunchtime, which begins at 12:30.

During lunchtime, the senior leadership team are all available to the children, either in the playground, or in the dinner hall, which is staffed by Sian and Jo. This is a good opportunity to catch up for a social chat, to solve a problem, or to share some lunch together.  In the dinner hall, we can practise our Spanish, read the word of the day and discover more about its meaning, or even share a joke!

Lessons begin again at 1:30, with registration and class novel time.

The school day ends at 3:15 when Sian, and Jo are at the gate to say goodbye!

The total number of hours that the school is open is 31 hours and 15 minutes a week. From September 2023, subject to Governing Body approval, the school proposes to be open from 8:55 to 3:25, totaling 32 and a half hours of opening time.

We are always available at the end of the day, if parents have a worry.
