The School Day

• Children should not arrive on the premises before 8.45 am when they may then come into the porchway. It is important that these arrival times are adhered to, so that children's safety through adequate supervision levels is ensured, and also so that the school's insurances are in force.
   
• Registers are taken first thing in the morning. They will close at 9.00am and be sent to the school administrator. Pupils who arrive after 9.05am are marked as present, but late. The time of arrival and reason for lateness is noted. If children are continually late, the Headteacher will contact the parents to discuss ways of overcoming the problem.
   
• During the midday break all children remain at school to eat their packed lunch from home. If you wish your child to go home for lunch you must inform the school in writing. Free school meals come in the form of sandwiches. If you think your child may be eligible for a free school meal please contact the school secretary for the necessary paperwork.
   
• In addition to time spent on registration, assemblies and playtimes, each child receives in excess of 21 hours of tuition during a normal school week.
   
• If a child is not collected at the normal end of a school day the stated contacts will be telephoned. The child will be kept on the premises by a member of staff until collection can be arranged.
