We are open for the children for 32.5 hours every week - extra on the days that we have after school clubs and sports activities! We open our gates at 8.40am and our teachers are there every morning to greet the children.
The support staff will be waiting for the children in the classrooms and this gives the children time to hang up their coats, get settled and begin their morning tasks. Gates close at 8:45am and registration is completed by 9.15am. School finishes at 3.15am and gates are opened to allow parents to collect their children.
Teachers dismiss the children on the yard from each class assigned exit.
