The school week totals 32.5 hours. 

Being punctual in the mornings gives your child time to organise their belongings, greet their friends and begin the day in a calm way.  Not only does lateness lead to lost learning, it also means a child feels less prepared and less settled at the start of the day. 

In the event that your child is absent from school, it is essential that the school office is notified by 9.30 a.m.  After this time, any child's absence that is not accounted for becomes a safeguarding concern.  We are duty-bound to inform Children's Social Care if we are unable to make contact to establish the child's whereabouts.  Please ensure that we have two up-to-date emergency contact telephone numbers for your child/ren. 

We have a fantastic before school club called Early Bird, which is to support working parents/carers and for children who want to socialise and engage in exciting activities before  school. 

Early Bird – Starts at 8 am. At 8:45am, children go straight to class ready for registration.

Chelmo Kidzone, which is next to the school, offers before and after school provision.   For details, please see the 'Wraparound Care - Early Bird and Chelmo Kidzone tab.
