School Hours & Attendance

Please ensure your child is on time for school. Along with regular attendance, punctuality is a legal requirement.

Parents are asked to ensure that children arrive in the school yard between 8.55 and 9.05am and 9.05am and 12.45pm promptly outside the nursery gate.

The Main School gates are opened at 8.55 am and closed at 9.05 am. We operate a one-way system for dropping off and picking up children. In through the Cawnpore Street gate and out through the Pill Street gate. Staff will be there to receive and release children at the times above. Likewise, nursery staff will be there to receive nursery children at the times above.
