Our School Day - Main Site (Years 1 to 6) Our School Day - Nursery and Reception (Madeley High School Site) During registration, children in Year One upwards reflect upon their learning from the previous day and respond to the teacher's marking. They complete corrections to reinforce basic skills such as letter formation, spelling, punctuation or errors in Maths.
All children participate in an Assembly each day. This varies from whole school, single class or Key Stage. Children from Y1 to Y6 have a short break from 10.30am 10.45am. Toast is provided as a snack. Reception break times are quite flexible. Towards the end of the school year, they will join children in Key Stage 1 to have breaks at set times.
All children have their lunch break from 12.15pm-1.15 pm. The younger children eat their lunch first, followed by the older children. All children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are entitled to a free lunch provided by the school (cooked or a sandwich) under the Universal Free School Meals scheme.
Children in Key Stage 2 either bring their own packed lunch from home, or pay for a school lunch.
