At Whitchurch we provide 32.5 hours of learning for all children per week, typically divided into five learning sessions throughout the day. Children also attend weekly assemblies / collective acts of worship led by the Headteacher.
They also attend weekly Star / Celebrations assemblies, class assemblies and singing assemblies, which bring the community together on a daily basis. We operate a soft start in the morning with gates opening at 8.40am. Parents drop off at the gate and children make their way into class, where they will be met by their class teacher.
The school day starts at 8.55am - children arriving after that time are late. If children attend our breakfast club they will be dropped off at class in the morning. At the end of the day, parents collect their children from the classroom patio doors.
