School Hours & Term Dates
Drop off Arrangements
Children arrive at school, accompanied by parents/carers, by 8.15am, ready to enter school at their designated drop off point. All doors and the EYFS gate, will be locked promptly at 8.20am. Registers will be taken at this time and all other gates (except for the gate via Delamere Drive) will also be locked shortly after, for child safety.
For parents/carers with children in more than one year group/ class, it is recommended that they see their eldest child into their class door at 8.15am and then accompanies their younger sibling to their drop off point. Parents/carers should discuss this with their class teacher, if they have any concerns.

EYFS Children - EYFS gate opens at 8.15am and parents/carers will enter to hand over their children to their teachers by 8.20am, when the gate will be locked.

Late Arrival

Collection Arrangements
At the end of the school day, children will be handed over to their parents/carers, at the same drop off points. Teachers will only hand over children to parents/carers or an authorised adult, where a parent/carer have given their consent for this to take place.
