Thank you to everyone who took part in our consultation process last term about the need to extend school hours slightly from September. Parents, staff and governors shared their thoughts and we have now been able to take a decision. Of course, we can’t please everyone all the time, but we hope that with four months notice the changes won’t be too difficult for anyone. You can download a copy of Dr Foster’s letter to parents here:
From September our school hours will be: 8:45 am until 3:15 pm for all children from Reception to Year 6.
The arrangements for dropping off in the morning will be as follows:
School gates open at 8:35 am
Registers taken at 8:45 am (gates will close just before 8:45)
Children arriving after the gates close but before 8:55 will be marked as late in the register
Children arriving after 8:55 will receive an unathorised absence mark for the morning session
The changes make sure we meet the requirement that primary age children are in school for 32.5 hours each week.
