START OF DAY PROCEDURES
The teachers will open the doors at 08:40 am and will close them at 08:50 am. Children should remain fully supervised by their adult until that point.
HOME TIME
Reception, year 1, year 2, year 3 and year 4 children will leave school at 15:20 pm and year 5 and 6 children will leave at
15:25 pm from their year group door. Please avoid standing in groups too close to where the children will be dismissed from so that the teacher can see everyone. Our staff will work as quickly as possible to dismiss children safely and to an appropriate adult. For this reason, we ask that you delay any one-to-one conversations you need to have with class teachers until all children have been dismissed.
As the children in Years 5 and 6 are becoming more independent, parents/ carers may choose to give them permission to walk home alone; permission must be sent in on email to the main office email address from a parent/ carer. The request can be made anytime throughout the year, and permissions can be changed in writing by the parent (via email). The Year 5 and 6 children will be escorted to the gate and will leave at their point in the line. Parents/ carers may choose to allow their child to bring a mobile 'phone into school if they are walking home alone.
AFTER-SCHOOL CLUBS
At the end of an after-school club, children will be dismissed through the main reception.
WASPS AFTER-SCHOOL CARE
If your child is being collected by Wasps for after-school childcare, they will wait in a designated space for the staff team to arrive and take them to Wasps setting. In a morning, the Wasps team will bring the children to school in time for the first group to enter class (8.40) and will wait in their designated area until their class enter school.
