Our school gates are open at 8.30am. Children can enter the school between 8.35 and 8.45am. The school gates close at 8.45am, which is when registration takes place.

We ask all parents and carers arriving after this time to bring their children to the school reception.

Getting to school on time is very important. Arriving just five minutes late each day amounts to over 16 hours of school missed!

As well as recording overall absence figures, we also monitor punctuality and intervene where necessary. Please give your child the best possible chance at school by ensuring they arrive at school on time.

Home Time

We only allow Year 6 pupils to walk home by themselves if we have written parental permission. 

Pupils will not be allowed to leave with unannounced adults, even if the child knows them. If someone different is picking up your child, you must phone the school office to let us know.

Reception age children must be collected from school by somebody aged 18 or older and other children must be collected by somebody aged 16 or older.

Please note that no children are allowed to walk home alone after clubs. This includes those Year 6 pupils with written permission to leave at normal school time.
