School Day
Children from Reception-Year 6 are able to arrive at school from 08:30 when the gates are opened. At 08:40 children will be met by their teacher and taken into class.
The school day begins with registration at 08:45. If you arrive after this time, please report to the office. The school day ends at 15:15.
In Nursery, the day starts at 09:00 and finishes at 15:00 (session dependant).

The school week is 32.5 hours long.
Our morning register is taken at 08:45 and will be kept open until 09:20.
A pupil who arrives late but before the register has closed will be marked as late (L) – which counts as present.
A pupil who arrives late, after the registers close, will be marked as absent. If the pupil is late arriving due to a valid reason such as an unavoidable medical appointment, the absence will be authorised with proof of medical appointment (text/letter). If the pupil is late for no good reason they will be marked with the unauthorised absence code ‘Late after registers close’ (U).
School Lunches
Our school lunches are prepared and cooked on site by Chartwells, part of the Compass Group. The current cost of a school dinner is £2.90 per meal. If your child is having a paid school lunch, please ensure you have topped up their account via the Arbor app.
All school lunches should be ordered via your child Arbor account from up to a term in advance through to the day of lunch before 08:30. Meals are only charged once the school has confirmed numbers with the school kitchen at 09:30. If you child is absent on the day, no charges will be made.
Here is our Autumn Winter 2024-2025 Lunch Menu.
At lunch time the children have the option of eating a hot meal, a range of filled baguettes or bring in a packed lunch from home. Should your child have any special dietary requirements or food allergies please note that a form will need to be completed and signed by a Doctor to enable our caterers to put together an individual eating plan for your child.
Several of our children have nut allergies so please ensure that snacks and packed lunches do not contain any nuts or nut products.
Currently, children who are in Reception to Year 2 are entitled to Universal Free School Meals. These are not to be confused with Awarded Free School Meals which are based on income for example. If you think you are entitled to Awarded Free School Meals please apply for them, even if you do not intend to use them, as the number of registered Awarded Free School Meals brings in extra financial support for the school. Please see the office staff who can supply and help you complete an application form. Alternatively, click here to complete the form online.
