School Times
Please ensure that your child arrives at school in time to be punctual for the start of the day, but not so early that they have a long wait in the playground.

| Playground gates open: | 8:40am |
| Teachers present in playground: | 8:40am |
| Morning registration: | 8:50am |

The 32.5 hour minimum expectation includes the time in each day from the official start of the school day (i.e. morning registration) to the official end to the compulsory school day (i.e. official home time). The 32.5 hour minimum includes breaks and lunch times as well as teaching time and any extra-curricular activities that all pupils are expected to attend. It does not include optional before or after school provision.
We are committed to encouraging children to attend school regularly and on time. Research shows that there is a direct link between good attendance and achievement in school. Poor attendance can have a direct effect on attainment and future life chances. It is vital that good habits start when children are young.
