The school day starts at 8.55am and finishes at 3.20pm for Reception and Key Stage 1, and 3.25pm for Key Stage 2. Registration is from 8.55am to 9.00am. Children are welcomed into class from 8.45am to complete early bird activities such as quizzes or handwriting practice. Did you know our school has a school milk scheme?
By registering your child for our school milk scheme they will receive a 189ml (third of a pint) carton of semi-skimmed milk every day. This is delivered fresh and chilled to their classroom every day. "How much does it cost?" Thanks to government subsidies, school milk is free for all under-fives and is subsided at around £15 a term for children aged five or older.
"Why should I register my child?" School milk provides your child with essential nutrients such as calcium and protein, for strong, healthy teeth and bones. It is also rehydrating and energy boosting, helping to bridge the long gap between breakfast and lunch so children stay focused. "How do I find out more?" Visit or contact Cool Milk directly on 0800 321 3248.
