The school gate opens at 8:30 am and closes at 8:45 am every morning. Please make sure to drop off your child/ren at the school gates by 8:45 am each day. The school gates will open for home time at 3 pm and close at 3:15 pm (Monday to Thursday). On a Friday, the school gates will open at 2.30 pm and close at 2:45 pm.
We also request that parents and carers use the designated footpath and do not cut across the car park. Please do not park on the zig-zag lines or over our neighbours’ driveways. We also ask you to exercise extreme care during busy times, at the beginning and end of the school day. We would greatly appreciate your support in this matter.
The school closes at 2:30 pm on Fridays throughout the school year to facilitate staff training, and also at 2:30 pm on the three Parent Consultation days.
All transport to and from school is arranged via the Transport Manager at the Civic Centre, telephone number 01895 250008. Mrs Greenwald and Mrs Smith and our Family Support Workers are always available to discuss particular transport issues.
