School Office

Our School Office Staff are here to help you, however here are a few items that may be useful to parents and carers which you can view or download from our website.

Our School Day

Here is a breakdown of our school day:

  • School morning begins at 9.00 a.m. and ends at noon.
  • There is a mid-morning break at 10.45 – 11.00 a.m.
  • Afternoon school begins at 1.00 p.m. for KS2 and 1.15pm for KS1
  • Afternoon break is at 2.15 pm-2.30 pm for Key stage 1 pupils only
  • School closes at 3.15 p.m.

The total number of hours spent on teaching, excluding collective worship and registration is 23.5 per week at KS2 and 22.25 at KS1.

Children should not arrive at school before 8.45 a.m. as supervision does not begin until this time. It is important that children arrive at school on time, if they do arrive late, they must use the main entrance as all other doors will be locked.

Free School Meals

If you think you may be eligible please download and fill in the form below and return it to school. It is a simple checking procedure and any child/parent who is found to be eligible for free schools may also benefit from other financial help such as trip payments etc.

This information is treated with the utmost confidentiality and only relevant staff will be aware – the children are not treated any differently in any respect.
