Arriving at School
Children should arrive at school no earlier than 8:40am.
All pupils should enter and leave the school site via the parent car park. The gate near the bus area is locked at 9:00am, after which access to the school is through the main entrance only.
School gates reopen at 3:00pm for collection.
Reception to Year 2
Parents and carers should remain with their child outside the classroom doors until they open at 8:50am. It is the responsibility of the accompanying adult to ensure the child has entered the classroom before leaving.
This is also a valuable opportunity to speak with your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
At the end of the day, children will leave through the same doors at 3:10pm and must be collected by a named adult aged 16 or over.
If you would like an older sibling attending high school to collect your child, please complete a Sibling Collection Form. This arrangement is made at the parent’s discretion.
Year 3 to Year 6
Children in Years 3 to 6 should be dropped off at the main gate in the morning.
At home time, children should be collected from the main gate. Year 3 pupils may be collected from the Windy Tunnel area at 3:20pm.
Access During the School Day
To help keep our children and staff safe, access to the school site is restricted during school hours.
Between 9:00am and 3:00pm, all visitors, including parents and carers, must enter through the main entrance and report to the School Office upon arrival.
If a child needs to leave school before the end of the day, they should be collected from the main entrance and signed out at the School Office by a parent or authorised adult.
Early Years Access
Parents of Nursery, Reception and Year 2 pupils should use the Early Years gate, located at the rear of the school site.
Please note that this gate provides access to the Early Years area only and does not provide entry to the main school building.
End of Day Collection
Children in Reception to Year 2 should be collected promptly at 3:10pm.
For safeguarding purposes, children will only be released to adults known to the school. If someone different is collecting your child, please contact the School Office in advance and provide the name and details of the person collecting them.
