About

The official school day runs from 9.00am - 3.00pm. However, we have a breakfast club that starts at 8.00am and the option for parents to drop their child off at 8.30 if they need to dash off to work early, or get older children to other schools on time. We call this our early bird drop-off. We ask parents to let us know if they need the early bird option.

Entry is via the main reception doors, where families are greeted and welcomed by the headteacher.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
